About the Tocuyito Trio
"Our trio is colorful, virtuosic and joyful.", highlight violinist Dalina, pianist Joseph and cellist Santo, who has been completing the ensemble since the summer of 2023. As Jeunesse's featured ensemble in the 2023-2024 season, the Tocuyito Trio brings the rhythm of homeland Venezuela to Jeunesse - for parents, babies, children and all curious music fans.
Dalina, Santo and Joseph grew up with the folk music of their homeland, which still brings anecdotes and images to life for them today:"the vastness of the Llanos, the savannas of Venezuela, the heat of the Caribbean coast, the fog in the Andes or the air of Caracas.”
