Notas de 4
Notas de 4 has just received a new nomination for WCMA 2024 for their most recent album Cosas Maravillosas (Wonderful Things) as Global Artist of the Year.
Notas de 4 is Calgary’s original Latin jazz ensemble, winner of Best World Recording of the year 2020 by YYC Music Awards and was nominated three times for WCMA as Global Artist of the year 2021 & 2022, 2024. Recently the group released their second recording project Cosas Maravillosas with the help of Alberta Foundation for the Arts. The ensemble’s original compositions are inspired from Flamenco, Latin jazz and traditional music from Cuba and Mexico. The band released their first full-length album Rosas y Lirios (Roses & Lilies) in September 2019 thanks to the help of AFFA and FACTOR Canada.
Their performances have been described as Intense, edgy and dreamy; a re-imagination of Latin music composed in a uniquely Canadian landscape.
The group has performed in notable sold-out stages including the King Eddy by Chronograph Records, National Music Centre by Casa Mexico, Chinook Blast Festival, Arts Commons, ArtXpeditions, TEDxCalgary Talk Music, Lolita’s Lounge, Pro-Arts Noon Series, The Junction and Expo Latino in several years, “Big Secret Theatre”, and the Manitoba Arts Network Showcase this October 2022.
