“…Folklore Urbano’s 12 members perform material that is authentic and refreshing, due in no small part to Mayor’s amazing way of synthesizing jazz with Colombian folkloric music, taking Latin music to an entirely new dimension”—Latin Beat Magazine

Folklore Urbano is the innovative project of Colombian bandleader, pianist, composer, and arranger Pablo Mayor. It’s no exaggeration to say that Folklore Urbano has redefined modern Colombian music, setting new heights in both world music & Latin jazz. This high-energy, wildly fun ensemble harnesses the danceable swing of traditional Colombian rhythms while seducing the listener with the subtleties of jazz orchestration & harmony. The band’s lineup cooks with a rhythm section including some of New York City’s finest exponents of traditional Colombian music.

This event is part of Make Music New York 2009
