Skaneateles Festival - BEATrio: Béla Fleck, Edmar Castañeda & Antonio Sánchez

With 46 GRAMMY nominations and 19 wins, Béla Fleck continues to redefine what the banjo can do. In his latest project, Béla joins with virtuoso Columbian harpist, Edmar Casteñada, and sensational Mexican jazz drummer, Antonio Sánchez, composer of the iconic film score for the Oscar-winning film, Birdman. Together, they explore the intersections of bluegrass and Latin American styles in ways that audiences are finding irresistible.

Be among the first to hear the BEATtrio, the all-star band featuring Fleck, harpist Edmar Castañeda and drummer Antonio Sánchez, after the release of their self-titled debut album on May 16, 2025. Béla Fleck reflected on the trio’s inception: “This project kind of reminds me of the early days of the Flecktones”. Edmar Castañeda added: “Together, we’ve forged an unforeseen trio, a union that is truly magical.”
