The Latin Dead is a California-based collective that fuses the music of the Grateful Dead with Latin Jazz. Contributors including John Kadlecik (Furthur, Dark Star Orchestra, Melvin Seals & JGB) and Oscar Hernandez (4X Grammy winning pianist/composer/arranger/producer and leader of Spanish Harlem Orchestra) lead listeners down a unique, genre-bending road of music and culture, drawing equally from Grateful Dead, Jazz and Afro-Latino traditions. With world class musicians and innovative arrangements that span the emotional spectrum, The Latin Dead aims to push musical boundaries while building cultural bridges.
