Leonard Jácome Quartet presents a dynamic and forward-looking vision of the latinamerican harp in contemporary music. At the center of the project is the Venezuelan electric harp “Electrollanera 37,” an instrument created by Jácome that expands the expressive possibilities of the traditional arpa llanera through electro-acoustic performance and modern techniques.

Rooted in the rhythmic language of Venezuelan joropo, Jácome’s work blends Latin American traditions with jazz-influenced improvisation, sophisticated arrangements, and contemporary musical language.

For this special performance, the quartet features Sean Applebee as guest artist on trumpet, Alejandro Castaño on drums, and Miguel Soldevila on guitar. Together, the ensemble creates a powerful and interactive sound, offering a vibrant and immersive concert experience where tradition evolves into a bold, 21st-century voice.
