About

The Mexican saxophone quartet NAHUI CUARTETO DE SAXOFONES presents its debut album "Coti Coti" - nine compositions by famous Latin-American artists like ASTOR PIAZOLLA, Perez Prado and more in unusual but highly catchy interpretations! Nahui Cuarteto De Saxofones is a saxophone quartet founded by four talented Mexican musicians from different parts of the country, all of them trained professionally at the Faculty of Music at Universidad Veracruzana. The project was born in 2017 in Xalapa with the intention of performing quartet saxophone music, the classical repertoire as well as traditional and popular pieces by Mexican and Latin-American composers. The band name "Nahui" is proudly inspired by the Nahuatl language (the historical Aztec) following their Mexican roots and Mexican identity which are the fundamental characteristics of the quartet. Nahui means "four" in Nahuatl. The quartet has since performed many concerts receiving a very positive response from the audience. Some of the forums where the Nahui Cuarteto De Saxofones has performed successfully are: the Faculty of Music at the Universidad Veracruzanas auditorium (FaMUV), the Nuntempa Festival in 2017, Universidad Anhuac Xalapa, the State's Superior Institute of Music Auditorium (ISMEV), The 1st International Meeting of Arts Veracruz 2018 "Cielo Mexica" in Xalapa city, Oaxaca's Faculty of Fine Arts Auditorium (UABJO), III Naolinco International Music Festival 2018, 4th Chamber Music Competition Mateo Oliva (where they obtained the 3rd place), 3rd Xalapa International Saxophone Festival 2018, Cancun International Music Festival 2018 (where they performed in different forums across the city), and Nuntempa Festival 2018 (where they presented their concert A la carte). Always aiming at high quality in their musical performance as well as revindicating the saxophone quartets in chamber music has led the members to actively maintain their training and complete assembly studies with different recognized teachers in the musical scene, such as Timothy Patrick McKeown (USA), Albert Juli (SPAIN), Jean-Yves Fourmeau (FRANCE), Chroma Quartet (MEXICO), among others. Now the time has come to release the first album: "Coti Coti" consists of twelve pieces by famous Latin-American artists like ASTOR PIAZOLLA or Perez Prado but also Ryszard Siwy, a Polish pianist and composer who relocated to Mexico in the 1980s. About half of this dozen tracks were arranged by Johan Van Der Linden, former primarius of the world famous Aurelia Saxophone Quartet.
