About this event
Classic jazz tunes are given the Cuban treatment, and Cuban classics a twist of jazz in the able hands of Ireland’s newest exponents of irrepressible Latin groove, Conclave.
Band leader, drummer and percussion master Conor Guilfoyle has developed a unique sound with Conclave, who use the rhythmic motifs of Afro-Cuban music to celebrate a musical tradition that has roots that reach far and wide, and include Haitian vodou drumming, Afro-Brazilian music, Uruguayan candombe and Louisiana voodoo beats.
Conor Guilfoyle is joined in his new band by some of Ireland's leading jazz players - Ed McGinn on congas, Andrew Csibi on bass, guitarist Chris Guilfoyle, and by Venezuelan pianist Leopoldo Osio.
Claves mix with odd meters, jazz solos blend with montunos- it’s impossible to tell where one world ends and the other begins.
