Caracas Trio is a New York-based Venezuelan musical group that has been captivating audiences with their unique sound and style. The trio is made up of three highly talented musicians, each bringing their own individual flair to the group. Their music is deeply rooted in the Afro-Venezuelan rhythms and melodic improvisation that form the foundation of Venezuelan folk music.
What sets Caracas Trio apart is their use of a distinctive instrumentation consisting of keyboards, drums, and vibraphone. This combination of instruments allows the group to create a diverse range of sounds and colors, weaving together intricate rhythms and melodies in their compositions. Caracas Trio strives to connect with the folkloric spirit of music, while incorporating modern elements and sounds. Their music is a celebration of the rich cultural heritage of Venezuela, and a testament to the enduring power and beauty of music as a universal language.
