Late 2026… A guaranteed party with an exceptional rhythm section and brass line to bring back to life the energy and passion of the legendary American conguero Poncho Sanchez. The set list revisits the greatest hits of the master of Latin jazz and Afro-Cuban soul, made famous in particular on his cult album *Latin Soul* , released in 1999
François Constantin regularly organises his famous Latin Jazz Jams / Salsa Projects at the Parisian jazz club Le Baiser Salé, dedicating special evenings to legends of Afro-Cuban music
Originating in the 1960s in the Puerto Rican neighbourhoods of New York, Latin Soul is a blend of R&B, soul, Latin jazz and mambo. Cuban rhythms lend this music its festive feel, and artists such as Willie Colón, Eddie Palmieri, Bobby Cruz and Poncho Sánchez have helped to popularise it.
