Vibrant and enchanting
sounds from Venezuela:
cam-bur pin-tón!
The Tocuyito Trio was founded in Vienna in 2018 and has since then performed in renowned concert halls such as the Wiener Musikverein, the Wiener Konzerthaus, the Mozarteum Stiftung and at festivals such as the Kultursommer Wien.
The musical roots of the Ensemble - Dalina Ugarte, Santo Scala and Joseph Ávila - reach deep into the folk music of their home country Venezuela. On their various concert programs, the trio explores an exuberant sound world that is both classical and innovative, evoking the musical diversity of their land.
The members of the Tocuyito Trio are Alumni of the Jeunesse-Oorkaan Academy. The Ensemble is proud to work with the Yehudi Menuhin Live Music Now Organization.
The trio takes us on a colorful journey into the magical and spirited world of Venezuelan sounds and rhythms. Cambur Pin-Tón is a staged concert with explosive moments and exotic soundscapes. It tells of breathtaking sunsets, the friendliness and energy of the people, the best fruits, a diverse nature and the joy that in Venezuela everyone can sing and dance the way they love.
Music by S. Díaz, A. Romero, C. Pino-Quintana, Pedro J. Castellano, J. S. Bach, J. Ávila.
