Héctor Lepe is a jazz guitarist who grew up in Mexico and later moved to Helsinki. His first album, Pedro’s Dream, is Lepe’s debut as both bandleader and composer. The compositions on Pedro’s Dream are inspired by Mexican folklore and literature. Lepe subtly blends Latin American musical elements with a modern jazz sound. Pedro’s Dream was released in May 2023 on Flame Jazz Records and has been widely acclaimed by music critics. The Héctor Lepe Quartet is led by Finnish jazz talents of the younger generation: saxophonist Max Zenger, bassist Juuso Rinta and drummer Teemu Mustonen. The band manages to subtly blend Latin American elements with modern jazz melodies. The result is a fresh mix of fresh music with room for each member’s own personality.
