The celebration, with a mix of jazz, traditional Japanese music and more, will take place this Friday in the Chamber Hall.

 

As part of its jazz concerts, the Auditorio de Tenerife programmes the celebration of 20 years of ST Fusion ensemble next Friday (20th December) at 7.30 p.m. in the Chamber Hall. In addition to the founding members, the double bass player Tomás López-Perea Cruz and the singer Satomi Morimoto, this concert will also feature Jonay Mesa on guitar and Sergio Díaz on drums.

ST Fusion was formed in Tokyo in 2003. After a year of research and composition, the Japanese artist Morimoto and the Canarian artist López-Perea Cruz recorded their first album, Occiriental, in 2004. With this album, both artists aimed to capture the fusion of Western and Eastern culture.

The duo has met with critical acclaim in several countries, such as Spain, England, Italy, Serbia, Morocco, Cape Verde, Senegal, Japan, South Korea, Cuba, Brazil and Colombia, and its eight audio recordings have been nominated and awarded in regional, national and international selections.

ST Fusion's unique sound is the result of its avant-garde and organic approach of blending contemporary jazz, traditional Japanese music, funk, classical, rock, African music and other genres absorbed over the years by its highly versatile members.

The musical maturity is the core of this multicultural ensemble with two decades of experience of studio time and musical experimentation and performances on four continents.
