A Live Stoop Concert featuring Peruvian drummer and percussionist Hector Morales

May 25, 6 - 7:30 p.m.

We’re happy to announce the continued partnership with the National Jazz Museum in Harlem. On May 25 we will host another special live Stoop Concert on the steps of 14 Gramercy Park South.

Peruvian drummer and percussionist Hector Morales has combined live international performance for the past 15 years with his work as a teaching artist. He is the author of The Afro-Peruvian Percussion Ensemble: From The Cajon To The Drum Set. He is the recipient of a grant from NALAC (National Association of Latino Arts and Culture) and sponsorship from the Peruvian Government to promote Afro-Peruvian music within universities in the US. Morales currently leads an All-Star group called The Afro-Peruvian Ensemble which is comprised of master musicians of Afro-Peruvian music currently living in the US. He also performs with other influential ensembles of the Afro-Peruvian Jazz scene in NYC including Yuri Juarez Afroperuano Group and Gabriel Alegria Afro-Peruvian Sextet. Morales has performed at Lincoln Center Out of Doors (US), Smithsonian Folk Festival (US), The National Museum of Peru (Peru), the Society of Musicians and Composers of Chile (Chile), Festival du Monde Arabe de Montreal (Canada) and the Jerusalem Music Festival (Israel-Palestine).
