Genre: Jazz; Cuban
A singer whose rich and entrancing voice evokes the dramatic landscape of her homeland; A formidable pianist who possesses both an encyclopedic knowledge of jazz and Cuban music and an unwavering dedication to the groove; a guitarist who slides fluidly from classical elegance to funky, blues-inspired phrases on an instrument borrowed from the choro and samba traditions of Brazil. These three voices comprise the unique sound of New York City-based world jazz trio, La Voz de Tres. Chilean vocalist Natalia Bernal, keyboardist Mike Eckroth and seven-string guitarist Jason Ennis blend the infectious rhythms and nuanced songwriting traditions of Latin America, original compositions and choice picks from the Great American Songbook in a surprising and refreshing improvisational texture.
