At a glance
About this event
Guitar duo 'Almonte & Molina' will be performing at The Workman's Club (Vintage Room) as part of the Dublin Jazz Co-op concerts.
Growing up in the hothouse of Latin-American rhythms and styles, and schooled in the art of jazz and improvisation, the duo explores and develops time-honored songs and original compositions in a unique and innovative style. Rodrigo Almonte (Peru) and Orlando Molina (Chile/Venezuela) are both guitarists and composers, and they have combined forces to create an artistic work that blends elements of Jazz and Latin-American Music which welcome the listener to experience the duo's musical friendship.
