Latin Jazz
Orquesta Dharma

Orquesta Dharma is a Bay Area Afro-Cuban salsa and Latin Jazz band led by trombonist and Grammy award winner Jamie Dubberly. Their music is a blend of infectious salsa dura, original and highly danceable Latin Jazz, and New Orleans brass band grooves. It has been described as music that captures all of the luminescence, impulsive power, fluidity and shimmering mystique of the saints of the music, who have in turn, inspired Orquesta Dharma.
