Originally from Tijuana, México, Cabanillas is now a Bay Area resident, and is concentrated on writing and arranging for his Latin band by fusing the rich Jazz harmonies with Afro-Caribbean dance rhythms. This band performs original music and highlights the very talented musicians who collectively have played through a vast array of genres from funk to pop and folkloric genres without losing their identity and each pushing forward their own unique voice. Javier Cabanillas’s compositions have received a 4-Star rating in DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE, and the music of Cabanijazz Project has been featured in NPR, PBS, United Airlines, and more.
