Bobby Sanabria and Ascensión at Wesleyan Center for the Arts

Led by multiple Grammy Award-nominated drummer, percussionist, composer, arranger, and educator Bobby Sanabria, his ensemble Ascensión has been critically-acclaimed for its Pan-Latino approach to Latin jazz. Encompassing Afro-Cuban, Brazilian and traditions from Venezuela, Colombia, Sanabria’s ancestral homeland of Puerto Rico and beyond, as well as straight-ahead jazz and the avant-garde, Ascensión is a musical laboratory that is constantly exploring the rich cultural and spiritual roots and connections between the jazz and Latin jazz continuums.
