Under the Beams Concerts 1/10/26 - 7:30pm - Jorge Glem & Sam Reider -Venezuelan cuatro/Brooklyn keys
Latin Grammy nominees Glem and Reider have built an oasis halfway between Brooklyn (New York) and Cumaná (Venezuela) - a one-of-a-kind place that blends not just two cultures, but two artistic languages that had never truly merged before. Jorge Glem, a Grammy-nominated Venezuelan cuatrista (cuatro player) and founding member of the acclaimed ensemble C4 Trío, joins forces with Sam Reider, an American accordionist, pianist, composer, and leader of the band The Human Hands. Together, they have created a sound that uniquely embodies this extraordinary musical and cultural fusion. Their debut duo album, Brooklyn-Cumaná, was released in November 2022 and received a Latin Grammy nomination in 2023 for Best Instrumental Album. The project’s repertoire includes Venezuelan merengue, joropos, and other traditional Venezuelan rhythms, woven together with original compositions influenced by American jazz and roots music. Brooklyn-Cumaná is a compelling experiment—one that captivates the heart while inviting the body to move. It’s not just a musical collaboration; it’s a vibrant conversation between traditions, places, and creative spirits. This concert is one of top-notch musicianship and is a show not to be missed!
