Classico Latino is a project which demonstrates the universal and
cross-cultural nature of music. Although the three members of the group are
classically trained, in Classico Latino they perform the popular Latin-American repertoire,
drawing on the familiar Samba, Bolero and Tango as well as less-well-known rhythms such as
Pasillo, Joropo and Currulao, in a unique combination of instruments and styles. Whilst
maintaining the format of the classical piano trio, Classico Latino expresses the original
passion and joy of the Latin-American rhythms. The ground-breaking arrangements
combine the passion of Latin America with the virtuosity and traditions of classical music.
The music of Classico Latino has an extraordinary appeal to people from all cultural
backgrounds, a fact which is largely due to the universal nature of its message. The idea of
love features frequently in these songs, as does that of simply having a good time.
It is this uncomplicated approach, combined with memorable tunes and catchy rhythms,
which makes their music so accessible. It is music for all people.
