This week’s Liquid Sunshine celebrates International Jazz Day with a deep dive into Afro-Cuban jazz—that glorious space where complex Latin rhythms and jazz improvisation become inseparable.

From Ray Barretto’s percussion mastery and Arturo O’Farrill’s big band fire to contemporary voices like Dayme Arocena and Jane Bunnett’s all-woman Cuban band Maqueque, these tracks prove that Afro-Cuban jazz isn’t a fusion—it’s its own complete language born from two musical traditions speaking as one.

It’s an hour of music that swings, grooves, and improvises with equal passion, honoring both the African roots and the jazz spirit that created something entirely new.
