ZENET “The Voice and the Hands”

Lila Horovitz — double bass

Aaron Pozo — saxophone

Raúl Kiokio — guitar

ZENET returns to the stage with a concert presenting live their new album, *The Voice and the Hands* — their most intimate work since *The Seas of China*. Here, the focus is on the essence of song and the genres that have shaped their life.

Throughout their career, ZENET has been celebrated as a true genre thief: hinting at tango, suggesting bossa nova, flirting with bolero or chanson. In this new work, they dive fully into each genre—not quoting them, but *inhabiting* them. Bolero, tango, bossa nova, folk — all resonate with pure, sincere sound, performed on real instruments and fronted by voice, in a proposal free of digital artifice.

This new album emerges from a tribute to José Taboada, ZENET’s late musical partner — absent in person, yet deeply present in this journey. The album makes stops along memory, roots, and artisanal sound. It’s not only an album you *listen to* — it’s one you *feel*. It’s not just a concert: it’s a sonic journey embracing the past and bringing it vividly into the present, with ZENET as the open-hearted, fully expressive protagonist on stage.
