Soul Cream

David Cid (piano), Nicolas Alvear (guitar), Guillermo Elizaga (drums), Nicolas Andino (trumpet)

The core Trio, comprising Nico Alvear, David Cid and Guillermo Elizaga, with the incorporation of Nico Andino on wind instruments, creates a vibrant sound, full of groove. Their music, influenced by blues, funk, soul and touches of Jazz, offers an enveloping experience that drives you to move to the beat of every note and connects with the essence of black music.

These four musicians met in San Sebastian, within the academic environs of the Higher Conservatory of Music; they soon got close and, in 2022, organised their first concert as a group. Since then, they have been to many cities across the country, among them Vitoria, Barcelona and Logroño.
When we hear them, groups such as Soulive and RH Factor and musicians like Larry Goldings and Miles Davis come to mind. Andino, Alvear, Cid and Elizaga make very versatile use of the language of blues and traditional Jazz to develop it in a genuine way, and bring a more modern sound to it.
