Banjo innovator Béla Fleck joins harpist Edmar Castañeda, and drummer Antonio Sánchez for BEATrio, an unexpected collaboration that fuses jazz, bluegrass, and Latin influences. Together, the acclaimed musicians create strong melodies, gorgeous harmonies, and infections grooves. Their self-titled debut album released in 2025 showcases their chemistry and adventurous approach to music-making.
Harpist Castañeda hails from Bogotá, Colombia and has led his own bands in addition to sharing projects with artists like Hiromi, Paquito D’Rivera, and Grégoire Maret. Five-time Grammy-winner Sánchez grew up in Mexico City and built a reputation as one of the great jazz drummers through his work with guitarist Pat Metheny.
18-time Grammy winner Béla Fleck—the world’s premier banjo virtuoso and a celebrated musical adventurer—has both explored his instrument’s complex global history and unlocked the breadth of its possibilities. For over 30 years, he has led Béla Fleck & The Flecktones, the groundbreaking quartet inspired by jazz, funk, bluegrass, and beyond. Collaborators include Abigail Washburn, the Brooklyn Rider String Quartet, Chris Thile, The Blind Boys of Alabama, McCoy Tyner, Zakir Hussain, Edgar Meyer, and Rakesh Chaurasia.
