Juan Olivera Quartet

Juan Olivera Quartet presents original music that blends the sound of contemporary jazz with melodies and rhythms from the Río de la Plata musical imagination.

The group is led by the Uruguayan trumpeter, who is committed to a contemporary aesthetic. His project continuously explores sonorities and rhythms connected to diverse musical languages and cultures.

Within their music, rhythmically energetic elements coexist with subtle, atmospheric chamber-like passages. Their influences include timbral qualities of classical music, the expressive character of Río de la Plata popular music, and the rhythmic power of rock.
