Individually, the group members bring a unique experience promoting the Spanish music culture, Jazz, and Latin musical genre. Orquesta Afinke is a team of spirited entertainers who have performed in multiple locations and different audiences. As a group, they have succeeded in delivering groundbreaking music cutting across a vast genre of music. With great love for all forms of music, the band performs the traditional Latin American genres including Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia, Boleros, Plena, Latin jazz, among others.
