Salsabop | Afrobop

'latin jazz and afro beat vibes and backgrounds' 
'Their mission is to connect audiences of different ages and backgrounds'

Saskia loves Latin Jazz and Afro beats so much that it has been a profound influence on her musical vision. She had already garnered much experience with South and Middle American music before forming Salsabop playing different genres of Caribbean, Latin and Afro music such as calypso, cumbia, salsa, merengue, soca, kaseko. Salsabop brings a lively mix of these and the newest styles, blended with jazz. Her travels to the African continent inspired her to add "Afrobop" to her formations, blending her bebop with Afrobeat.
