Jazz Finland Live

The Héctor Lepe Quartet, known for blending Latin American musical elements with the language of modern jazz, will embark on a Jazz Federation tour in March. The quartet, led by the acclaimed young guitarist Héctor Lepe, will perform in Turku, Kotka, Savonlinna, Joensuu, and Kuopio.

Héctor Lepe Quartet delivers fresh and vibrant music that allows space for each member’s unique personality to shine. Joining guitarist and bandleader Héctor Lepe are Finland’s top-tier jazz talents: saxophonist Max Zenger, bassist Juuso Rinta, and drummer Teemu Mustonen. The group, composed of Lepe’s favorite musicians, takes listeners on a journey through the mystical legends and landscapes of Mexico.

Released by Flame Jazz Records in spring 2023, Pedro’s Dream is Héctor Lepe’s debut album as both a bandleader and a composer. The album has received widespread critical acclaim.
