The new project from the Cuban Jazz virtuoso Carlos Sarduy, reflects the ultimate artistic freedom, where the stage becomes a playground for the “hermanos” in musical spirit. 

When the four friends come together for Sarduy’s project, melody, improvisation and groove merge into a musical “dish”, almost as if curated from a group of auditorial masterchefs, umami-ing their way through a tasting menu of tunes, where it is (also and very) evident that they enjoy themselves, mastering, creating, playing and passing on their musical statements and creations to the lucky audience.

The audience is invited directly to the chef’s table - An intimate setting, at the front and center of the exquisite musical cuisine of the experienced Cuban homies; Soulful and dedicated musicians, cooking up an audio-sensory and sensitive experience of Sarduy’s enchasing music. Connecting in their own holistic way, through their friendship and music. Unpretentious virtuosity. Sarduy’s compositions are contemporary and multilayered, influenced by the Afro Cuban tradition of the streets - as well as the international jazz scene of today. He identifies equally with the masters of Cuban, American and African tradition and has developed a sound of his own where he effortlessly travels between those roots and almost futuristic, transcended melodic soundscapes.
