Latin jazz

Latin jazz is like when you mix two yummy foods together to make something even more delicious! In this case, we mix jazz music with Latin American music. Jazz is a type of music that often has lots of instruments playing together and the musicians can make up their own notes while they play. Latin American music comes from countries like Cuba and Brazil and often has rhythms that make you want to dance!

When we put jazz and Latin American music together, it makes a spicy and fun type of music called Latin jazz! Sometimes we hear trumpets or saxophones playing with bongos, congas, or other percussion instruments. The melodies and rhythms come from both jazz and Latin American music, making it sound different and unique from traditional jazz or Latin American music.

We can hear Latin jazz in lots of different places, like in movies, on the radio, or even at a concert. It's a type of music that makes us tap our feet and feel happy inside. So next time you hear some music that sounds like jazz mixed with spicy Latin rhythms, you'll know it's the fun and exciting sound of Latin jazz!
