AFRO URBANITY Unveils New Single
"IED WERE WERE"
A Vibrant Fusion of Afrobeats and Latin Jazz Inspired by the Cuban Goddess Ochún
Creative Latin jazz ensemble AFRO URBANITY (Tokyo, Japan)
announces the release of its latest single, "IED WERE WERE," a dynamic track inspired by Ochún, the revered Santería goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. The new release showcases the band's signature approach of blending Afro-Cuban musical heritage with contemporary global rhythms.
"IED WERE WERE" captures the warmth, vitality, and radiant spirit associated with Ochún. Driven by exhilarating percussion and a powerful groove, the track seamlessly merges the spiritual depth of Afro-Cuban traditions with the modern pulse of Afrobeats. Each member contributes expressive, improvisational lines that highlight the ensemble's collective creativity and deep musical chemistry.
The result is an uplifting and immersive listening experience-a piece that moves effortlessly between ritualistic energy and dance-floor appeal, inviting audiences worldwide to feel its joyful momentum.
"IED WERE WERE" is now available on all major streaming platforms.
Electric Afro Cuban jazz project Among the Cuba music, very specific genres of Afro-Cuban music, such as Rumba and Santeria, are put in the spotlight by being mixed with a variety of styles our artists come accross daily. It is the combination of detailed, experiment-oriented, unique arrangements and individual vocal work. Spectators were freely surrounding our musicians during their live performances. They earned them a good reputation among not only Cuban music fans but also Jazz, Fusion, Afro Music... Lovers. After an experimental live, on September 22, 2019, the group released its 1st Album "Afro Urbanity".
