Sandor`s Trio is a project of the Cuban pianist and composer Sandor Torres, who has already managed to gain public recognition in Cuba and Mexico and is now working in Russia. Sandor is known in Moscow in the past as a member of the Habana Caliente group. The Sandor´s Trio stands out with the original compositions of its director Sandor Torres, where he brings together different styles and genres and interprets the legendary themes of jazz, Cuban music, cover art and others.
Thanks to his talent as a composer, pianist and accompanist, Sandor managed to dance flamenco and jazz differently for the audience, combining Afro-Cuban roots and creating a unique style. This is a look at flamenco from the point of view of Afro-Cuban music in a variety of jazz arrangements. After all, it was Afro-Cuban music that, due to historical events, had a huge impact on flamenco. The uniqueness of the show also lies in the fact that throughout the concert there is interactive, communication with the public. Musicians interact not only among themselves, but also with the audience, creating a single cozy space. In 2019, Sandor´s Trio participated in the festivals Alter-Ego and (modern tango), La Noche Flamenca Plus.

The joint project of Dariel Rene and composer and arranger Sandor Torres will open a new page in the variety of rhythms performed in Moscow. For the first time in Russia, a concert will be presented, consisting only of works in the bolero feeling genre.This genre is also called the "King of Hearts" because it is the most expressive form of expressing love feelings. The peak of popularity of this genre came in the 50s, in which it was erected by such performers as Jose A. Mendez, Cesar Partillo de la Luz, Tanya Castellanos and, of course, Marta Valdes and Omar Portuondo. Until now, there is no consensus on what comes first in bolero filling compositions: music or words. It is up to the listener to answer this question. Does the music complement the experiences of the hero or does the emotions of the vocalist color the music with their colors?
