Batuquê Trio
Live At Ted's, Downtown Wilmington
Overview
Doors at 3 PM
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. The show will feature new originals and arrangements found on their upcoming album, releasing in Fall 2024. The trio's return to Wilmington is generously supported by the South Arts Jazz Road Tours grant.
