Enjoy a lovely candombe night in an intimate duo format where the tambor piano drum and the piano keyboard engage in a deep musical conversation.
Celebrated during December — the month of Candombe — the concert explores rhythm, improvisation, and contemporary genres such as jazz, honoring Afro-Uruguayan tradition while opening new creative paths through modern harmony and spontaneous interaction.
Rooted in Afro-Uruguayan Candombe and expanded through jazz language and urban influences, the duo highlights the essence of dialogue: rhythm and harmony meeting on equal ground.
