Commissioned by Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Tres Aguas is an exhilarating celebration of rhythm and movement. Drawing from flamenco, Afro-Cuban, Afro-Peruvian, jazz, and New Orleans traditions, this suite brings together vibrant musical styles from across the Americas, the Afro-Diaspora, and Spain. Through the universal language of music and dance, Tres Aguas creates a joyful, one-of-a-kind experience that highlights the cultural threads connecting these traditions. Don’t miss this evening of unforgettable sounds, energy, and connection.
