TLS

The Latin Syndicate (TLS) is a Latin Jazz ensemble by Bassist Yasser M. Pino; some of the best instrumentalists in the European Jazz Scene today: Italian pianist, Bandoneonist, and composer Paolo Russo, his fellow countryman Saxophonist and clarinetist Nico Gori, the legendary Cuban Drummer Calixto Oviedo and the great percussion master Eliel Lazo also from Cuba.

Their music is beautiful, fun, and masterful. The mix of Cuban bass lines and percussions with the Italian melodic richness, at times even unifying Cuban rhythms and Tango licks, make this band a pure Latin Jazz experience. Fresh and amazing at the same time. The Latin Syndicate is truly a hidden gem that shines on stage like no other.

On March 10th, TLS played a concert at VEGA in Copenhagen. The show was a beautiful reunion with their drummer Calixto Oviedo who resides in LA, California. Once more, the LTS captivated the audience with a truly fantastic performance. Full of elegance, calmness, and sensitivity. By the concert’s end, the band strolled to the good old Cuban traditional music with Eliel in the singer’s role. A surprising development that gave a joyful ending to the show, an unforgettable night!
