SWEET PLANTAIN Bridges Gap Between Generations & Genres of Latin American Music

The group’s diverse repertoire heavily features the works of notable Latin American composers like Astor Piazzolla, Mongo Santamaría, Aldemaro Romero, and Paquito D'Rivera, alongside the original compositions and arrangements of the quartet’s own members.

What’s more, the group inventively incorporates improvisation, percussive, and extended techniques that artfully fuse the western classical traditions in which they were trained with the jazz, rock, hip-hop, and Latin rhythms on which they were raised.

Separately hailing from Venezuela, Argentina, Russia, and the Bronx, together these musicians give voice to a sound that is both rooted in tradition and entirely new. Sweet Plantain is the kind of multicultural, chamber music group that can only be found in New York.

Come dance as DJ Jimmy, New Jersey DJ Services ROCKS the town.

Our focus on May 23 will be coming-of-age moments in various cultures – something that all can share. Diverse and provocative panelists will launch our discussion, which will then continue in small breakout groups. We’ll wrap up the program with music in a little over an hour. (In the future, we look forward to returning to sharing food, arts and dance, as well.)
