Paquito Cruz Trío

Reminiscencias 

* Programme subject to change

The jarocho ensemble has developed its musical path through three albums: Retratos xalapeños (2019), Cielo y tierra (2021), and Reminiscencias (2024). In this performance, the trio will play live selections from their latest work, which focuses on contemporary jazz influenced by Latin and flamenco rhythms.

This concert offers a journey through the trio’s most recent phase, marked by ongoing musical exploration and a strong connection to their roots. Paquito Cruz Trío presents a series of original compositions, for example: Terra ignota, Saturno, and Armando’s Blues, where improvisation and musical interaction are central elements. With their latest 2024 album, the trio consolidates a mature and coherent project that reflects both their accumulated experience and their desire to keep opening new sonic paths.

Press quotes

“As the titles suggest, Cielo and Tierra are a thematic and stylistic polarity, united by contemporary jazz and the rhythms of folk music, huapango, and flamenco. The recording was made in the traditional way: in a live session where 'the music was born and died instantly'.”

María de los Ángeles Escobar, “La palabra y el hombre”, Revista de la Universidad Veracruzana

“The memory, the musical reminiscences of Paquito in this, his latest album, have a wide range and evoke deep feelings.”

Axel Juárez, drummer
