A fresh and exciting fusion of Afro-Dominican rhythms with Jazz featuring some of Canada’s finest Latin jazz recording artists. Junior has had a lively career performing and recording with many influential bands and ensembles throughout the years. His work has been influenced by Afro-Dominican and Afro-Cuban music, as well as jazz artists such as Steve Gadd, Chick Corea, Yellowjackets and Spyro Gyra. As a freelance musician, he’s played with Canadian artists like Laura Fernández, Joaquin Núñez Hidalgo, Zeynep Ozbilen, Roberto Linares Brown, Kalabash and a number of other Latin-influenced bands.

It didn’t take long after releasing his debut album, Conpambiche, to be nominated for a Juno Award for Jazz Album of the Year (Solo, 2021). Join Junior Santos for a musical merge you won’t forget on Sunday, July 24th at 7pm.
