The Afro-Semitic Experience

The Afro-Semitic Experience is an American roots jazz band with a difference. They are a six-piece group of Jewish-American and African American musicians who have been performing, recording, and teaching together for almost 25 years. Their friendship ignites their passion and purpose: Together, as a band, they merge their musical roots, Jewish and Afro-diasporic melodies and grooves, combining the core concepts of àse and shalom - power, action, unity, and peace. Their music embodies the radical notion that people of different faiths, races, and beliefs can come together through music; to celebrate and build community. Their repertoire is a mix of original compositions and arrangements of pieces curated from Jewish and African-diasporic cultures.
