The trio is made up of three highly talented musicians, each bringing their own individual flair to the group. Their music is deeply rooted in the Afro-Venezuelan rhythms and melodic improvisation that form the foundation of Venezuelan folk music.
What sets Caracas Trio apart is their use of a distinctive instrumentation consisting of keyboards, drums, and vibraphone. This combination of instruments allows the group to create a diverse range of sounds and colors, weaving together intricate rhythms and melodies in their compositions.
In addition to their musical prowess, the members of Caracas Trio also share bass parts, percussion, and vocal duties, adding to the richness and complexity of their sound.

Caracas Trio’s compositions are known for their rhythmic and melodic complexity, exploring the immense variations of rhythms and grooves found in Venezuelan music. They incorporate a mix of drums and Venezuelan percussion instruments, paired with the melodic dexterity and improvisation featured by the keyboard and vibraphone. The result is music that is at once deeply rooted in tradition and yet contemporary and fresh.
Overall, Caracas Trio strives to connect with the folkloric spirit of music, while incorporating modern elements and techniques. Their music is a celebration of the rich cultural heritage of Venezuela, and a testament to the enduring power and beauty of music as a universal language.
