AFCENT Band Visits Egypt

The U.S. Air Forces Central Band (AFCENT Band) has performed an exclusive acoustic set and some classic summer tunes at the American Center Cairo (ACC), according to the American Embassy.

Their concert was received with great enthusiasm and admiration by the Egyptian audience and the members of the mission of the United States Embassy, including U.S. Chargé d'Affaires to Egypt H.E. Nicole Shampaine.

"The American band has performed a series of concerts that will be broadcast on social media soon," the embassy said.

Their performance provides a unique and powerful means of strengthening the cultural ties and friendship between the United States and the North African country.

The military band is a versatile group that showcases dynamic musicians. They perform a wide variety of music ranging from Top 40, pop, R&B, country, and jazz to rock and roll classics, appealing to audiences of all ages and backgrounds, positively promoting troop morale, diplomacy, and outreach to local communities.

Members of the band are world-class musicians trained by some of the finest and renowned American and international music schools and conservatories, who have volunteered to use their talents to serve in the United States Air Force as full-time musicians.

It's worth noting that they play for Ambassadors, Embassy functions, community concerts, school assemblies, military functions and ceremonies, and other social events, entertaining perse audiences and providing a friendly face and voice for the U.S. military to diplomats, citizens, and foreign nationals.
