With “Cachai,” New York-based Chilean saxophonist
Anibal Rojas presents his own sound: self-professed ‘immigrant music’ which fuses the rhythmic drive of Latin with the soul of R&B and the creative freedom of contemporary jazz. In the 20-plus years since Anibal emigrated to the U.S. from his native Chile, he’s built a reputation as an in-demand East Coast sax player. His all-around musical force is on display whether on tour with Blood, Sweat & Tears, on television with Kelly Clarkson, or in the studio with Ralph Irizarry & Timbalaye. Eastern Iowans may remember Ani’s work in Mean Street and the Hell Horns while he was getting his Music Performance degree at the University of Iowa.
