Participants of all instruments and experience levels are invited to join an open-instrumentation ensemble exploring the rhythms, melodies, and collaborative spirit of this dynamic musical tradition.

He has carved out a unique place in contemporary music by blending the roots of Son Jarocho with jazz, hip-hop, and electronic music.
