Outside Events
Caracas Trio & Melissa Almaguer
NoMad Jazz Festival
August 10th, 1-2:15pm
​
Madison Square Park
11 Madison Ave
New York, NY 10010
​
The Caracas Trio weaves Afro-Venezuelan rhythms with jazz improvisation into a sound that’s as joyful as it is complex. Formed by Gabriel Chakarji (piano), Juan Diego Villalobos (vibraphone), and Daniel Prim (percussion), the trio blends Caribbean, Brazilian, and jazz influences with vocal interplay and high-energy grooves.
A multidisciplinary artist originally from Mexico and now based in NYC, Melissa Almaguer is redefining tap as a vehicle for healing and artistic expression.
