WHY LOS PIPOS?
Los Pipos are not your typical Latin band. We compose our own music.
Original music – sophisticated, innovative, energetic.
Six internationally trained musicians from six countries unite
Classical virtuosity with Latin American tradition. By Timba
Cubana, from Spanish flamenco-inspired 6/8 to Peruvian
Landó in 5/8 – our rhythmic diversity knows no bounds.
Our live shows are more than concerts: spontaneous audience interaction,
virtuoso solo improvisations and danceable energy. We fill both
intimate jazz clubs and large festival stages with equal intensity.
Dias Latinos Award 2021. North Sea Jazz Festival. Africa Days Vienna.
Over 100 concerts since 2017.
THE BAND

The band members, who hail from Peru, Cuba, Mexico, Germany, Chile, and the Netherlands, combine their musical roots to create a powerful sound that perfectly blends tradition and modernity.
These talented musicians offer an exciting fusion of Latin American melodies, jazz elements, and contemporary influences. They are masters of improvisation and experiment with rhythms that are both familiar and surprising. Los Pipos are not just a band, but a movement that transcends boundaries and thrills audiences across Europe.
Since their formation in 2017, the Pipos have won over numerous fans with their distinctive style and infectious energy. Their live shows are an experience that brings the stage to life and captivates the audience from the first minute to the last. The band has made a name for itself with impressive performances at festivals such as the North Sea Jazz Festival (NL), the Africa Days in Vienna (AT), the Da Jazz Festival in St. Moritz (CH), Jazz im Brunnenhof in Trier (DE), and the Art & Life Festival in Ostrava (CZ). A particular highlight was winning the Dias Latinos Award 2021 in Amersfoort (NL), which cemented their position as innovators in the genre.
Their first CD, "Hilos," was released in 2020 and featured masterfully arranged, well-known Latin American pieces. Now, with their new album, "Nuestra Tierra," they are on a musical journey of discovery and have created a completely innovative soundscape characterized by creative compositions and fresh sounds.
With their unique style and boundless energy, Los Pipos are a band to keep an eye on. Experience the magic of Los Pipos and let their music transport you to a world of rhythms and melodies that will delight your senses and capture your heart.
