OUR STORY
THE TRIO
ALBUM #2 COMING SOON!
Batuquê Trio came together out of a shared passion for Afro-Latin music and jazz. The trio blends a myriad of Latin jazz styles, from the folkloric roots of Cuban and Brazilian music to contemporary trends in Afro-Cuban, Brazilian and Caribbean jazz. The term, batuquê, refers to Afro-Brazilian polyrhythmic drumming and dance. In 2015, they released their debut album, Transparency, which gives listeners an exciting take on familiar tunes and showcases original compositions that are steeped in groove. Available at iTunes, CD Baby and Amazon!
Batuquê Trio has presented Latin jazz clinics and performances at festivals and universities throughout the U.S. They've appeared at the Jazz Education Network's annual conference and PASIC, as well as the University of Texas El Paso, Abilene Christian University, University of North Carolina Wilmington's Day of Rhythm, North Carolina Central University, Indiana University, Coastal Carolina University, the Cape Fear Jazz Society's Jazz at the CAM series, and the Bloomington Jazz Festival.
