Quijeremá

A merging of classical and jazz with poetic undertones

After 12 years of performances throughout the US, Canada and South America, Quijeremá returns to the Poppy for a night of retrospection and celebration, featuring new work from their upcoming project “El Viaje/The Journey”. Their music features traditional instruments and vocal poetry to create a unique style that merges jazz, classical and world idioms. Quijeremá is a 2012-13 California Arts Council grantee, performs worldwide, including special performances for the President of Chile, the Cultural Diversity Festival in Venezuela, and was a 2009 IDA nominee for best musical soundtrack for the PBS documentary “Archeology of Memory.”

 “Using various methods of artistic expression, Quijeremá is more than just a band. They are poets and multi-media designers. Combining sounds from almost all over Latin America, their music contains a multi-cultural vibe that is guaranteed to impress anyone.”- SFReMezcla
