The latest creation of Quatuor Beat, offers a wildly energetic, scholarly journey
and funny, from contemporary music to traditional music. Four artists zigzag with malice
between the marimba, the vibraphone and the drums, for an escape in colors (chromos) and rhythms
(ritmos) in the vast world of percussion – a universe populated by wooden instruments, skins,
or chrome surfaces, which are hit, caressed, shaken, scratched… What do they have in common? The sovereign tempo (“beat”),
and colors that often surprise and always amaze.
