Jorge Glem
Latin Grammy Award-winning and Grammy nominated cuatro player, mandolinist and musical producer, Jorge Glem is one of Venezuela’s musical treasures. Raised in Cumaná, Venezuela, Glem’s amazing talent and driven purpose recently allowed him to perform a solo concerto for cuatro with acclaimed conductor, Gustavo Dudamel and the prestigious LA Philharmonic.

In 2017, Glem, in his continuous effort to introduce the cuatro to the world, initiated a movement called #4CuatroMusic through social media that reached more than 1k posts in only 3 weeks. It is evident that the cuatro is more than an instrument to this musical prodigy. It is without a doubt a part of him, and through playing it, he is able to attain a global voice.

OKAN
Fusing Afro-Cuban roots with jazz, folk and global rhythms in songs about immigration, resistance and love, OKAN takes their name from the word for heart in their Afro-Cuban religion of Santeria. With vocals in Spanish, English and Spanglish, OKAN is led by the Cuban-born violinist and vocalist Elizabeth Rodriguez and percussionist and vocalist Magdelys Savigne, both Grammy and Latin-Grammy nominees.

Dario Acosta Teich Quartet
Argentine guitarist, composer, and bandleader Dario Acosta Teich makes music that merges contemporary jazz and Argentine folk. Acosta Teich has never been satisfied with simply transmitting folk songs or styles; he uses his extensive composition training to open them up. He lets his fellow players bring their own languages to the table, and the result sounds like it could only happen in New York. Directed by Dario Acosta Teich (guitar, vocals), musicians also include Pedro Giraudo (bass), Juan Carlos Polo (drums) and Julio Botti (saxophone).
