HipLaJaz is revisiting the roots of hip hop, latin and jazz - executed by some of the finest musicians in the field.
Free style storytelling combined with Afro/Cuban montunos and tumbaos, multi rhythms and Jazz.
HipLaJaz perform these styles in a new inspiring concept, yet deeply rooted in tradition and history.
Combining Jazz, Latin and Hip Hop is a natural gumbo of musical styles as they all share common roots. This is the first time these elements intentionally joined forces to create new music and improvisational story telling with content.
Music is a reflection of life as it is happening - HipLaJaz is telling that story.
