Mestizo Ensemble
Jazz fusion
Latin American
Ensamble Mestizo is a collective musical project made up of Raimundo Barría (piano), Daniel Gazmuri (electric bass) and Hugo Jara (drums and percussion), which proposes a contemporary aesthetic where jazz and the musical roots of Latin America converge.
The ensemble primarily performs original compositions by its three members, developing a unique language that blends jazz improvisation with rhythms and expressions rooted in Latin American traditions, such as festejo, candombe, currulao, cueca, and various Afro-Latin American musical forms. Their approach seeks to integrate contemporary exploration with traditional sounds, shaping a dynamic, expressive music with its own distinct identity.
In September 2026, Ensamble Mestizo recorded their first live album at Thelonious Lugar de Jazz, a renowned jazz club in Santiago, Chile. This new work captures the project's repertoire and energy in a trio format and represents a new step in the ensemble's artistic development.
Currently, the group is preparing the presentation of this material, with the aim of sharing their new music and proposal on stages in Chile and Latin America.
