Duende Libre

Seattle-based Duende Libre blends global rhythms with jazz improvisation to create a sound that’s both electrifying and deeply soulful. Spanning the Afro-Latin music of Cuba and Puerto Rico, Brazilian jazz, and traditional rhythms from West Africa, the quintet creates a vibrant musical landscape that’s as danceable as it is thought-provoking.

Pianist and composer Alex Chadsey leads the group with inventive, genre-crossing arrangements, joined by the dynamic rhythm section of Farko Dosumov on bass and Jeff Busch on drums. With the vibrant energy of award-winning chanteuse Chava Mirel and inimitable tenor and percussionist Frank Anderson, you’ll encounter sizzling rhythms and grooving basslines, experimental meters, and irresistible melodic hooks, all aglow with the technical virtuosity earned by decades of devotion to their craft.

Catch them live and embark on an immersive, spirited journey across cultures that blends the freedom of jazz with the heartbeat of the world.

Tickets: $22 advance / $27 day of show
