Kick-off fall break with some tapas and jazz. Gabriel Alegria’s Afro-Peruvian Sextet will perform in downtown Greencastle at Music on the Square this Friday Oct. 14. The “Jazz on Tap” event kicks off at 7:30 p.m..
The jazz sextet, fronted by trumpet and flugel horn musician Gabriel Alegria, will provide the audience with a glimpse of Afro-Peruvian culture through their transformation of traditional folkloric Afro-Peruvian rhythms.
Wasser Brewing Company will provide beer tastings and tapas, making the “Jazz on Tap” event a culturally immersive experience for an audience seeking to learn about and enjoy Afro-Peruvian culture. Among other dishes, pollo a la brasa will be served, which is chicken braised with Peruvian seasonings.
Wasser will also be serving small batches of Peruvian-inspired beers for the event, including Chicha Morada, a sweet drink made from purple or blue corn.
Proceeds from “Jazz on Tap” will benefit engagement activities at Music on the Square, the sponsor of the Community Music Program.
The event is partially sponsored by Indiana Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Tickets are $50 and can be purchased online at music.depauw.edu.
