Abstract

My CE project is an exploration of Afro-Puerto Rican Rhythms through the lens of Global Jazz. Three years ago, I became deeply inspired and drawn to a music rooted in the Afro-Puerto Rican musical traditions, so, spending this year at the Global Jazz Institute researching and studying those rhythms was a way for me to deepen my understanding of it while finding connections with my roots as a French jazz musician. For this project, I had a great part of the research done during this year studying at the Berklee Global Jazz Institute, but also before, while traveling to Puerto Rico and exploring its musical tradition.
