Patax
Possibly the most successful fusion project of the moment.
PATAX It is today the most prominent fusion band in Spain, and already a project known throughout the world. With more than 90,000 followers on Facebook and 24 million views on YouTube, Patax follows an unstoppable trajectory.
Drawing on the legacy of Jazz legends such as Weather Report, Corea's Elektric Band, Herbie Hancock, or Zawinul Syndicate, and without hiding the powerful influence of the visionary proposals of Irakere, Wayne Shorter, Miles Davis, Enrique Morente, Hermeto Pascoal and Paco de Lucía, PATAX takes the “Fusion” concept to completely unexplored territory, where the communication between Flamenco, Funk, jazz and Afro-Cuban Rhythms is the key to its complex, explosive and magical atmospheres.
Biography from the artist
PATAX
It's surprisingly atypical to see a percussionist taking on the role of composer and leader of a large-format band. Jorge Perez, a percussionist trained in Madrid, Cuba and graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston, is a man after an idea: a new concept in which many a priori unconnected styles coexist, with full awareness of their respective roots and identities, and from a rabidly contemporary perspective. An ambitious goal that requires talent, determination, tenacity... and a group of extraordinary musicians, capable of going where the majority does not know, cannot, or does not dare...

NEW “US” DISC
The Madrid band faithful to its jazz fusion style launches its new work "Us." A surprising collection of original songs recorded with a live audience
“US” offers us a musical journey through electrifying themes that make you rise from your chair combined with beautiful ballads, discharges of Afro-Cuban rhythms, moments full of flamenco duende and, how could it be otherwise, a hallmark tribute from the house to one of the great references of Prince music.
The presence of an impressive Aurora Garcia and her absolute mastery of any register along with the effervescence of the young dancer Sara Sanchez accompanied by a consolidated block of excellent musicians with Jorge Vera, Dany Noel, Valentin Iturat, Ariel Bringuez, Roberto Pacheco, Dani Morales, Miguel Sempere, Raúl Gil, Raúl Venegas, and the vocal collaborations of Alana Sinkëy and Génesis de Jesús.
Big step forward Patax, training that, once again, is strongly committed to the concept jazz-fusion-afro-cuban-flamenco-funk in which he believes, and which he has been championing for years, with increasingly better arguments.
