Latin American Ensemble TAKU (en español)

Jorge Montilla, Clarinet; Ezequiel Fainguersh, Bassoon; and Juvenal Correa-Salas, Piano form the Latin American Ensemble Taku which was founded in Bloomington, Indiana while they were graduates students of Indiana University School of Music.

This Ensemble was born as an initiative and answer to the search, interpretation, recognition and diffusion of Latin American Countries music repertoire focusing on transcending any kind of discrimination or categorical separation between pieces.

The main goal of this group is to present Latin American Music of the best quality without bias for the genesis of the work, nor to the academic preparation of its composer, within a context where the listener appreciation would be addressed to the absolute value and essence of music, as well as the quality of performance.

Whether for the mixed sonorities of these instruments combination, the style diversity or for the originality of the programs, this new ensemble has a remarkable reception upon every performance. The integration of the Latin American Ensemble Taku to the North and South America music ambience has been received as a innovative experience and refreshing alternative.

Diversity is also present in the origins of the members of Taku and this is clearly shown by the eclectic selection of works performed at concerts. Jorge Montilla is originally from Venezuela; Ezequiel Fainguersh from Argentina and Juvenal Correa-Salas was born in Chile and raised in various countries throughout the Americas and the Caribbean.

Besides having a solid academic preparation achieved in few of the best music schools of the Americas and Europe, each member has since childhood been in constant and intense contact with folk and popular music from Latin America.
