PATAX PLAYS THE BEATLES (2021) is Patax's musical tribute to the most influential pop band in history. This unique revision of the most iconic songs of The Beatles, interpreted as never before, will transport you to an unexpected paradise where the mixture of flamenco, jazz, Afro-Cuban folklore with funk, soul and hip -hop will reach its climax in an unforgettable musical explosion. Patax, one of the most internationally recognized fusion bands, is once again at the forefront of the genre worldwide with this dazzling work.
PATAX is today the most prominent fusion band in Spain, and already a project known throughout the world. With more than 90,000 followers on Facebook and 25 million views on YouTube, Patax is on an unstoppable journey.
Drinking from the legacy of Jazz legends such as Weather Report, Corea's Elektric Band, Herbie Hancock, or Zawinul Syndicate, and without hiding the powerful influence of the visionary proposals of Irakere, Wayne Shorter, Miles Davis, Enrique Morente, Hermeto Pascoal and Paco de Lucía, PATAX takes the "Fusion" concept to completely unexplored territory, where the communication between Flamenco, Funk, jazz and Afro-Cuban Rhythms is the key to its complex, explosive and magical atmospheres.
It's surprisingly unusual to see a percussionist taking on the role of songwriter and conductor for a major band. Jorge Pérez, a percussionist trained in Madrid, Cuba and graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston, is the man behind the idea: a new concept in which many previously unconnected styles coexist, fully aware of their respective roots and identities, and from a rabidly contemporary perspective. An ambitious goal that requires talent, determination, tenacity... and a group of extraordinary musicians, capable of reaching where most do not know, cannot, or dare not.
After wowing in 2013 with his mesmerizing debut “Live From Infinity” and dazzling in 2014 with “Patax Plays Michael”, a vitamin-rich collection of tasty and colorful versions of the King of Pop Michael Jackson, PATAX return in 2016 with "A Night To Remember", a double CD recorded live at the Teatro Calderón in Madrid, which places them, in one fell swoop, as one of the great powers of national and international Young Jazz.
In 2018 Patax published "Creepy Monsters", an album that is once again a punch on the table on the international world fusion scene. Patax have performed all over the world, with concerts in Costa Rica, Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Germany, France, China, Panama, Cuba, Portugal, Morocco, Finland and Spain.
