¡alebrijes New York Performances

¡alebrijes arrives at The Jazz Gallery as a live New York set shaped by jazz language and Mexican visual folklore. The title points to the alebrije: an invented creature from Oaxacan craft traditions, assembled from parts, color, and story. Featuring Melissa Almaguer, the music treats that idea as structure, moving between composed motifs and improvisation that recombines materials in real time. It reads as a cultural translation rather than a theme, and the restraint gives the concept weight.
