"La'FroJaz"

Cultural associations keep neighborhood stories alive. La’FroJaz does that through music, workshops, and community gatherings that reflect the rhythms of East Harlem. Events often weave jazz, Afro-Latin beats, and spoken-word performances into evenings that feel more like family reunions than formal shows.

You’ll find the space inside the Julia de Burgos Cultural Center at Taller Boricua, 1680 Lexington Avenue at the corner of East 106th Street in New York, NY 10029. The address places it steps from the 6 train and a cluster of bodegas that hum with daily life. Calendars rotate between open-mic nights, panel discussions on diaspora identity, and hands-on drumming circles that welcome all skill levels.

Directions are easy—pull up the map and walk toward the vibrant murals that mark the block. To confirm event times or snag a spot, call (917) 653-6403—some sessions fill up faster than others.
