Al Agami har flere gange spillet med Cubop som gæstesolist. Han er kendt som rapper og har både optrådt som solokunstner, samt medvirket i mange forskellige sammenhænge med store danske navne og forskellige projekter. Han har modtaget en Grammy for sit første solo album, som årets danske rap/dance udgivelse.
Navnet Cubop betyder Cuban Bebop og stammer fra den musikstil Dizzie Gillespie skabte i 40’erne, hvor han blandede afrocubansk musik med jazz og bebop.
Cubop spiller egnearrangementer af jazz, pop og funk klassikere med numre af Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, Sting og Maceo Parker på repertoiret. Orkestret har spillet for fulde huse på blandt andet Copenhagen Jazzhouse, Vega, Studenterhuset, Park Café og Malmø Jazzfestival.
English:
Groovy Latin Jazz with roots in Cuban salsa
Cubop is a 7-man orchestra who has developed his own style by uniting the salsa beater with melodious jazz and funk themes.
In ’94, three Danish musicians went to Cuba to experience the roots of the salsa and get the rhythmic feeling completely under the skin. And they got it – including through instruction from the musicians from the Buena Vista Social Club, which became a world famous and rolled salsa wave across Europe and Denmark a few years later.
The trip to Cuba and the meeting with Cuban musicians became the starting point for the band Cubop, which has been moving in different directions for Cuban music and Latin jazz for more than 20 years. The name Cubop means Cuban Bebop and derived from the music style Dizzie Gillespie created in the 40’s, mixing mixed African-American music with jazz and bebop.
Over the years, the band has developed Cubop from being a Power Cuban dance band with singers and choirs, to today mix salsa with jazz and funk in a purely instrumental band. A mix of tight groovy bass and piano figures with the freedom of jazz’s legendary improvisations, and still with the salsa’s dance performance.
Cubop plays music that appeals to both jazz lovers and people with salsa in the blood.
Al Agami performs as guest soloist with Cubop from spring 2017.
