Los Pipos

Los Pipos combine the lively sounds of Latin America with refined jazz elements, a touch of classical music and influences of European music such as Spanish flamenco. The six-piece Latin jazz ensemble was formed in 2016 and brings together friends from different parts of the world, including Peru, Cuba, Mexico, Germany, Chile and Holland. The mission of the musicians is to share their passion for traditional Latin American songs and to give them a unique and refreshing modern twist.

The music of Los Pipos is characterised by improvisation, storytelling and emotional expression, as it is characteristic of Latin American music. With each member contributing their own cultural influences and experiences, Los Pipos seamlessly blend a variety of sounds and styles from different Latin American countries.

Los Pipos is not only about music, but also about joy of life. The band’s energy is contagious, and the musicians love to sing, laugh – and of course dance! They have performed at major festivals such as North Sea Jazz and Hildener Jazztage and won the Dias Latinos Award in Amersfoort, the Netherlands, in 2021.

The press says:

“Colourful Latin fireworks” (WAZ).

“They don’t need to rely on powers of persuasion or warm-up. Los Pipos’ are bang on in it with their first chord. The moment they enter the stage they hurl their energy and their lust for life, their rhythms and emotions into the audience.” (Rheinische Post)
