This Saturday, November 15, 2026, Eddy Marcano & Quartet will perform a Venezuelan Jazz concert as part of the 20th Anniversary celebration of the Annual Latin American Cultural Week

Renowned Venezuelan violinist Eddy Marcano & Quartet will kick off the 20th anniversary celebration of Latin American Culture Week in New York City.

This Saturday, November 15th, starting at 4:00 p.m., Marcano will bring the vibrant rhythms of Venezuelan jazz to Saint Mark's Church, 131 E 10th Street, New York City, accompanied by the following distinguished musicians: Baden Goyo (music director, piano, bass); Juan Diego Villalobos (vibraphone, bass); Yilmer Vivas (percussion).

Marcano recently released an album dedicated to Onda Nueva, a musical style that blends Venezuelan folklore, bossa nova, and jazz, created by the maestro Aldemaro Romero, "Father of Venezuelan Jazz."

In this work, Marcano's selected musical pieces represent the musical roots of the South American/Caribbean country, energetically updated with special guests such as Paquito D'Rivera, Pacho Flores, Hector Molina, and the aforementioned Goyo and Villalobos.

Furthermore, those attending this concert will also be able to enjoy some of the musical pieces contained in the album recently released by pianist Baden Goyo: "Figura y Fondo", which also features Onda Nueva, Zulia dance and eastern joro

Juan Diego Villalobos, established as one of the best vibraphonists in Latin Jazz, brings a special touch to his performances. He has released four albums as a leader and has participated in various groups, including the Caracas Trio with his fellow countrymen Gabriel Chakargi and Daniel Prim.

The band is completed by percussionist and drummer Yilmer Vivas, who is making his way in the North and has three albums recorded.

The events will then continue throughout the week, as you can see on the calendar.

Viva The Latin Jazz!!
