About Eddy Marcano Cuarteto Acústico: 

An internationally acclaimed ensemble dedicated to the celebration and diffusion of Latin American music, the Eddy Marcano Cuarteto Acústico brings together four outstanding musicians whose artistry has enriched audiences across the world. Led by Eddy Marcano on violin, the quartet is formed by maestro Baden Goyo on piano and musical direction, Yilmer Vivas on percussion and Venezuelan cuatro, and José Layo Puentes on double bass. Their sound moves between the essence of Venezuelan and Latin American traditions, the harmonic richness of jazz, and the elegance of the Onda Nueva movement. At the center of their distinctive identity is the creative work of pianist and composer Baden Goyo, whose arrangements and compositions shape an extraordinary dialogue between classical refinement, jazz improvisation, and the rhythmic soul of Latin America. The quartet has performed at Carnegie Hall and at festivals across Germany, Spain, Japan, Venezuela, and throughout the Americas. Their appearance at Terraza 7 promises an unforgettable celebration of the richness, passion, and universal spirit of Latin American music.
