O U R  C D

Tocando Raíces  is a captivating blend of jazz, flamenco, and Latin music that invites you on a colorful journey through the soul of Spain, Portugal, and Latin America. Performed by the Iberoamerican Ensemble, a brass quintet with percussion, this album celebrates cultures and rhythms.

Each track pulses with renewed energy, merging the intense passion of flamenco, the delicate elegance of danzón, the festive rhythm of sevillanas, the expressive power of tango, and the richness of other styles such as corrinho and pasodoble. Both timeless classics and original compositions are revitalized in this work that unites tradition with modernity.

A vibrant and unmissable tribute to the musical roots of Ibero-America.
