Abstract

The article focuses on banjo virtuoso Béla Fleck and his latest musical project, the BEATrio, which features Colombian harpist Edmar Castañeda and Mexican drummer Antonio Sanchez. Fleck, known for his innovative cross-genre collaborations, discusses the creative dynamics within the trio and their recent album, *As We Speak*, which showcases a blend of their distinct musical styles. The piece highlights Fleck's admiration for his late mentor Chick Corea and his commitment to exploring the banjo's African roots, while also reflecting on his journey as a musician and the importance of collaboration in his work. The BEATrio is set to perform in London as part of the Serious Summer Series. [Extracted from the article]
