Organizer, SPNA
"Paul and The Afro-Latineers have performed in Stuyvesant Square Park many times. They are always a crowd favorite! The band is easy to work with in both communication prior to and set up during the event. Very professional. And the performances are filled with so much talent and passion for the music. When they play, everyone in the park is smiling, tapping their feet, and getting up to dance! The Afro-Latineers are definitely a highlight of our entertainment programming in the park."

"One of the best performances at the Wyckoff Hospital Annual Health & Wellness Fair was The Afro-Latineers Band! The community members in attendance were dancing and moving to their upbeat Latin groove. The crowd enjoyed them and we received nothing but positive feedback from all…they were awesome! We look forward to The Afro-Latineers entertaining our future events."

Paul and The Afro-Latineers were an absolute pleasure to work with. From first contact, Paul was professional and easy to work with. They are absolute pros at every step of the process including booking, scheduling, payment, and performance. Paul was responsive and easy to work with, and the band was excellent! Everyone showed up on time, had great vibes, and were the perfect addition to our event. 100% would book again!
Former Executive Director, Woodside on the Move, Inc.
"So much love for The Afro-Latineers. They were responsive, enthusiastic, lively, and flexible. They were the perfect choice for 40th year nonprofit fundraiser - upbeat, but also conducive to networking. They even played an improv version of "Happy Birthday/Happy Anniversary" while we were cutting our cake, and helped get the word out about our event."

"It was such a joy to work with The Afro-Latineers! People were literally stopping to dance in front of my shop! I definitely recommend them for an event - really happy music and super nice, really talented crew - playing a nice mix of Ethiopian twinged jazz and Latin Jazz, Salsa and other Afro-Latin styles."

SPECTATOR REVIEWS
"I turned my head to see the source of the voice but my sightline was met instead with an all-smiles janitor dancing through the crowd, his broom as his date, to the latino-jazz of the Afro-Latineers, who provided the soundtrack for the night."
-- Jill Strominger of Edible Queens during Queens Taste 2017 |
"The group's music was much enjoyed at Mount Sinai - Beth Israel Phillips Ambulatory Care Center! It was enjoyed by the patients as well as employees of the ambulatory medical facility. I am an employee there and was definitely enjoying ALL of the musical tunes!! I am looking forward to hearing and seeing you ALL perform again. Much continued success!!"
-- Nurse at Mount Sinai Beth Israel, PACC |
"I wanted to say that we really enjoyed ourselves at the 2015 Taste event. This year's venue and the flow of the event went really well. Access to water was also a great idea and this year it seems that there were more bins to dispose of waste. The music was a great treat as well. Great job."
-- Awilda Cury, attendee of Queens Taste 2015 |
DJ Aphrosoul says, "I truly enjoyed listening to my friend Rich as well as the rest of Sabor and The Afro Latineers. The music was as beautiful as it was thought provoking, story telling, soothing, and entertaining. They definitely have made a fan in me…"
