Keynote Address: David Sánchez
AGSC is excited to announce that GRAMMY® award-winning musician David Sánchez will deliver a keynote lecture and live performance at the Atlanta Global Studies Symposium 2024. Recognized around the world as one of the finest saxophonists of his generation, Sánchez merges jazz syntax with the musical dialects of his native Puerto Rico and other Caribbean sources. Bringing a mix of mainstream jazz with Pan-African influences to audiences around the globe, his original compositions, like the album Carib (2018), are inspired by melodies and rhythms coming from the Afro Puerto Rican and Haitian traditions.
