The Rhythm Road Leads American Music to Hangzhou

 Maya Azucena Band

The Maya Azucena Band performed to full houses in a workshop co-hosted by the Hangzhou Library and at a concert at Hangzhou Normal University on April 20.  These music ambassadors performed works that ranged from hip-hop to jazz and were a huge hit in front of their largest audience on their China tour.  Maya Azucena and her band were in China as part the Rhythm Road Series which showcases American Musicians abroad.  The Rhythm Road: American Music Abroad Program is a partnership between Jazz at Lincoln Center and the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.  >>Full text
