Rotterdam
"Trico is a world music ensemble from the Netherlands that tries to capture different styles of music from all over the world in their compositions. The result is an organic mix of Arabic and flamenco music, with influences of Latin and modern jazz, that takes you on a journey around the globe. Trico has a line-up that is unique for the Dutch music scene and has an exotic sound that is full of melancholy and excitement.
The band recorded their debut album in the summer of 2021 in the Wedgeview Studio’s with Udo Pannekeet as engineer. All songs are original compositions and written by the different band members, but still form a cohesive record. This album represents their love for music from all over the world and their search for a perfect blend of these different influences."

"Five musicians, one rhythm. The group Cinco en Clave combines the perspectives of five different cultures and languages to deliver an iridescent picture of their passion – Latin music. The band members got to know each other at Codarts Conservatory of Rotterdam, where they brought together their influences ranging from Cuban and Antillean music to Western classical music and jazz.
Their playing allows each individual voice to shine through composing, arranging and improvising, meshed together in vibrant rhythm, be it through exhilarating Latin jazz, elegant danzón or sensual bolero."
