Omayà Quintet

Burning House, Valencia

Omayà Quintet arises from the meeting between memory, tradition, and creative freedom. The group is composed of Diego Abreu on piano, Fabio Abreu and Duván Martínez on drums and percussion, and Gabriela Muriedas on saxophone, building a sonic proposal that dialogues between the roots of Afro-Latin music and the contemporary language of jazz. Their repertoire mainly traverses Afro-Colombian and Afro-Cuban music, recognizing in them not only a musical richness, but also memory, identity, and the strength of Afro-Latin peoples. The drum appears as a source of expression, communication, and cultural connection, from where elements of tradition find new possibilities of dialogue with jazz, improvisation, and each musician's exploratory sound. Omayà Quintet thus proposes an ancestral journey that connects roots with the present. In this journey, memory transforms into creation and traditions continue to find new forms of expression. Music becomes a space of encounter, strength, and freedom; a language capable of crossing territories and generations, keeping alive a voice that transforms without losing its essence. In this musical encounter, Latin Jazz becomes a territory of exploration where Afro-Latin roots are not merely a starting point, but a living presence that continues to resonate, transform, and find new voices. Each interpretation seeks to build a bridge between past and present, between tradition and improvisation, to construct a unique sonic identity from diversity and freedom.
