CLASSIC MAPLEWOOD Presents SWEET PLANTAIN at The Woodland

FREE CONCERT - FAMIY FRIENDLY - OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

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.
