Huu Bac Quintet transcends borders by fusing Eastern and Western traditions through a distinctive blend of traditional music and contemporary jazz. Born in Vietnam, Huu Bac mastered the dan bau, studied erhu at the Beijing Central Conservatory, and expanded his musical language in Peru, learning the quena and Afro-Peruvian music. This international journey shapes the Quintet’s sound: a vibrant tapestry where ancestral instruments meet jazz instrumentation and improvisation.
The result is an expressive, cross-cultural experience that invites listeners to travel across geographies and traditions, revealing how diverse musical roots can coexist, converse, and evolve within a single, dynamic artistic vision.
