Situated in Harlem, Shrine celebrates the music of Africa and the African diaspora. If you love African and Caribbean music, you’ll be familiar with some of the bands on the calendar, but more often than not, you’ll enter this small, well-outfitted room, be greeted warmly (a true rarity in New York!) and discover a shoulder-to-shoulder crowd of people dancing to the greatest band you’ve never heard of. Though the music isn’t necessarily jazz, the scene and spirit at Shrine are probably the most like Old Harlem that you’ll find these days, and that’s a very, very good thing.
