Five musicians, one rhythm. The group "Cinco en Clave“ combines the perspectives of five different cultures and languages to deliver an iridescent picture of their passion - Latin music. The band members got to know each other at Codarts Conservatory of Rotterdam, where they brought together their influences ranging from Cuban and Antillean music to Western classical music and jazz.
Their playing allows each individual voice to shine through composing, arranging and improvising, meshed together in vibrant rhythm, be it through exhilarating Latin jazz, elegant danzón or sensual bolero.
