Perfect cocktail hour music!

Working with the Xarás Trio was such a wonderful experience. I was losing my head a little with a DIY backyard wedding and running around for set-up, but they were quick to set-up and get settled! The music sounded beautiful and we got a lot of people asking for their information. Highly recommend!

About

Xarás Trio is a Jazz, Bossa-Nova and Latin-Jazz ensemble based in Los Angeles. The trio was formed in 2012. Since then, we have grown into a larger ensemble. Individually we have lived, studied and performed all over the world, including Europe, North and South America and the Caribbean. Drawing from our diverse backgrounds we have created a beautiful repertoire, which is constantly evolving. Our music reflects a harmonious fusion of cultures and genres: Jazz, Bossa-Nova, Latin-Jazz, French-Jazz, as well as music from the Spain, Cuba, Perú and the US. Thanks to the vast artistic education, talent and professional experience that each of us brings to the ensemble, we can entertain with great ease in any setting, from a casual back-yard party, to the most elegant gala or formal event.

Additional booking notes

We require enough space for the band and the sound equipment. Depending on the size of the ensemble (from a duo to a 5-piece band) we may need more or less space, but we will do our best to adapt to the space available.
We will need access to an electrical outlet, and a couple of chairs.
We will need parking for 2 or 3 vehicles (depending on the size of the band) within reasonable distance to the performance site, and easy access to load and unload our equipment, as close to the site as possible.
