About Pengbian Sang & Retro Jazz
The well-known Dominican musician Pengbian Sang, with help of his music group and his experience as a producer, composer and jazzman, has given a new flare to some of the most popular Dominican songs by combining them with elements of jazz, blues, bossa, funk, and other styles of jazz. In Sang’s own words, Retro Jazz has become the most important project of his career: “This project has by farsurpassed my expectations. The positive reception that we have found has been incredible. A great number of people have embraced the project and they are thankful because, in a way, we have revitalized the songs that they grew up with, fell in love with, became embittered with… Our intention is to make us Dominicans feel proud of our songs, our melodies and our lyrics. I think that the public has identified with this.”

Retro Jazz has gained the recognition of both music critics and the general public, who acknowledge that this project praises the Dominican music and contributes to elevate the cultural level of our country by reducing the distance between the vast audience of popular music and the select jazz-loving audience.

Accompanied by musicians of renowned career and the inimitable voice of Nairoby Duarte, Pengbian manages to transform the most iconic Dominican songs into jazzy pieces that will delight all public that appreciates good music. In addition to Sang and Duarte, the other members of Retro Jazz are: Federico Méndez on guitar, Gury Abreu on saxophone, Álvaro Dinzey on piano, Ezequiel Francisco on drums, and Edgar Molina on percussion.
