About the event
Doors open: 8:00 PM
Show: 8:30 PM
Experience the power and complexity of Afro-Cuban rhythm with The Oru Jazz Collective, a dynamic Latin jazz quartet based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The group takes its name from the traditional Oru—a sacred sequence of rhythms performed in Afro-Cuban Santería ceremonies. Drawing inspiration from these foundational rhythmic traditions, the quartet creates a vibrant sound rooted in Cuban music while embracing the freedom, sophistication, and improvisational spirit of modern jazz.
Featuring piano, congas, drum set, and bass, The Oru Jazz Collective explores intricate rhythmic interplay, driving grooves, and spontaneous musical conversation. Their performances bridge classic Cuban descargas—high-energy instrumental jam sessions—with contemporary jazz harmony and improvisation.
Join us at Meyhouse Jazz for an evening of deep rhythm, rich musical tradition, and electrifying ensemble interplay.
