The Blue Island Project, led by pianist and composer Aníbal Cruz, is a bold musical journey that blends the vibrant rhythms of the Caribbean with the harmonic richness of jazz. Born from Cruz’s passion for cultural fusion, the project creates a soundscape that is both deeply rooted in Afro-Caribbean traditions and refreshingly contemporary.

Featuring a dynamic ensemble of world-class musicians, The Blue Island Project delivers performances that are as soulful as they are electrifying — weaving together salsa, son, rumba, and modern jazz into an immersive experience. Each arrangement tells a story, evoking the warmth, color, and rhythmic vitality of the islands while pushing boundaries with adventurous improvisation.

More than a band, The Blue Island Project is a celebration of identity, resilience, and musical dialogue. From intimate jazz clubs to festival stages, their sound connects cultures and invites audiences to dance, reflect, and feel.
