Peruvian roots. A life in jazz. Brian Anadon brings his experience as a drummer, composer, and educator to the quintet that carries his name.
The artist
A musical journey across borders.
Born in Peru, Brian began his musical journey at five and was performing onstage by ten. He moved to Buenos Aires in 2003, developing a career that spans jazz, funk, gospel, salsa, and Afro-Peruvian music.
His recording and performance collaborations include John Patitucci, Eric Marienthal, George Whitty, and Ed Calle. He also founded Jazz Fusion Night, bringing musicians from different countries together onstage.
His releases include Broken Chains (2013) and Resurrección (2025), which connects his Latin American roots with jazz through his own compositions.
His role in the quintet
Behind the drums. Within the music.
Brian is the quintet’s drummer and composer. At the kit, his role is to establish the rhythmic foundation, shape the music’s dynamics, and respond to the other players. His work as a composer brings another creative dimension to his place in the ensemble.
