DHD Trio - Abriendo Camino

Abriendo Camino means opening the path or leading the way in Spanish. This debut album by the DHD Trio represents the break of a new force, full of colours, joy, and love.

With this album, we are trying to expand the boundaries of Latin jazz by using influences like modern jazz, odd meters and classical music. The compositions tell a broad storyline, and they take the listener on a journey where playful melodies come and go. We like to use rhythm and polyrythms to play with the listeners ear, and to express our interpretation of the music.

Established in 2015, the band has appeared at the prestigious North Sea Jazz Festival in 2017 and toured around Spain, and the Netherlands. In March 2018 the band won the jury award and the public prize at the Leiden Jazz Award 2018 and the best soloist prize at the Erasmus Jazz competition.
