Latin-jazz (Afro-Latin Jazz)
Latin-jazz fuses American jazz with Afro-Caribbean rhythms (afro-cubano, salsa). In Africa, this fusion can be found in certain compositions by Congolese and South African musicians who blend jazz with African or Latin structures.
Artists like Manu Dibango (Cameroon), Hugh Masekela (South Africa) and soukous orchestras sometimes integrate Latin-jazz elements into their arrangements.
