Violinist Lazaro Manzano and upright bassist Leo Luna perform a Cuban fusion interpretation of Niccolò Paganini’s iconic 24th Caprice during the Berklee Career Jam Concert. Blending virtuosic classical technique with Afro-Cuban rhythms and improvisation, the duo reimagines one of the most celebrated works in the violin repertoire through a contemporary Latin music lens.
Manzano, a Boston Conservatory at Berklee student and recipient of Berklee’s Instrumental Performance Award, is joined by Luna, from the Berklee College of Music for a dynamic performance that highlights musical innovation, technical mastery, and cross-cultural collaboration.
