The Founders And Directors

Lorenzo Ferrero & Anibal Seminario

Lorenzo and Anibal met in Lima, Peru while performing with the Peruvian National Youth Symphony Orchestra. Both classical clarinet players at the time, where immediate friends and  started building a music relationship like no other.

Lorenzo later moved to Boston to study at Berklee School of Music, while Anibal moved to Los Angeles to study at California State University of Long Beach. 

Once both concluded their studies, Lorenzo decided to move to Los Angeles, it is during this crucial time that both Anibal and Lorenzo knew exactly what to do. 

The idea of having an Afro Peruvian big band had always been lurking around and now in the city of Los Angeles that idea has become a reality. 

It is our pleasure to share with you the “Afro Peruvian Jazz Orchestra”.
