Dear Cuenca music fans, Jazz de Barro has been selected by IberMúsicas in Spain as one of their grant recipients for 2026, and will use the funds to tour in the U.S. this coming August!
The upcoming gigs are fundraisers for the tour because this grant only covers air and ground transportation. For support of food and lodging expenses we are asking your kind assistance.
About the group: Jazz de Barro has been together for several years, recorded two albums, played with the Cuenca Symphony multiple times, and performed at important Ecuador functions like the Cuenca Bicentennial and the Quito Jazz Festival. Because the government of Ecuador does not support the arts, all our support comes from you, our fans!
The next gigs are:
• Thursday, Mar. 26 at 8:30 PM, cover $10: Bistro Yaku (inside Hostal Yakumama)
• Tuesday, Mar. 31 at 8:30 PM, cover $10: Sucré Salé (next to Parque Calderón)
We thank you for all your continued support, not only of Jazz de Barro but also of the music scene in Cuenca, which would not be possible without you!
Hasta pronto,
Su Terry
“Mystical and enchanting begin to describe the Ecuadorian fusion jazz of Jazz de Barro. Their music winds together an intense yet inviting thread of contemporary jazz with Pachamama overtones from indigenous stories and surprising, magical tones of whistles and flutes. It was a true delight to experience the full breadth of their creativity and talent at the 2022 Quito Jazz Festival.” –journalist Rick Snyder
“One of the most original performances that I have ever seen. The musicians were fantastic. The compositions were unlike music that I am familiar with and I thoroughly enjoyed the way this group opened my ears and eyes to a new adventure of sound.” –producer Rick Hubbert
