The Marlene Jazz Trio
Pianist/vocalist and composer, Marlene del Rosario leads The Marlene Jazz Trio, joining her are Doug Rich on acoustic bass, Renato Malavasi on drums and Keiichi Hashimoto on trumpet. Marlene has performed for various audiences in the U.S. and abroad, including the Philippines’ ex-Presidents Fidel Ramos and Cory Aquino, and Princess Chulabhorn of Thailand. She is backed b/y /band members who have performed extensively throughout Europe and the United States with Aretha Franklin, George Carlin, Ron Levy and George Garzone, among others.

DiLe
Formed by violinist, Juan P. Chavez, "DiLe" is a Latin group that has been long over due. The musicians are amazing musicians from all over the world with a common fervor for Afro-Cuban music. Their shows are lively and filled with such energy that it's almost impossible to not get up and start dancing. Their originality, stage presence, and passion as artist are what set them apart from your regular Friday night salsa band and their connection with the audience is what keeps fans returning for more.

"I cheerfully recommend [Juan P. Chavez] and DiLe, as one of the most exciting contemporary Afro-Cuban groups to surface around New England." -Michael Maldonado, TheLatinPoet.com

"The only complaint...the music had to stop." -Elizabeth McQuillan, Triumvirate Environmental

"These guys rock!" -Olaf Bleck, Salsa Boston

and the Maeve Gilchrist Trio
