Mola Stica

Mola Stica is a creative gathering of four musicians from diverse cultural backgrounds, united by a shared passion: using sound as a bridge between tradition and innovation. The quartet - featuring Jorge Leysan Demestre (Coco) on congas, Leandro Irarragorri on piano, Nelson Briceño on drums, and Ledian Mola on double bass - serves as a canvas where the richness of Cuban music seamlessly merges with the contemporary nuances of jazz.

At its core, Ledian Mola brings these three musicians together in his creative universe, where freedom and spontaneity reign - shaped by influences from free jazz, classical music, and folkloric traditions. Their music pulses with the spirit of a new generation of artists who, while deeply rooted in tradition, push the boundaries of musical expression. Clave, rumba, danzón, songo, and other elements of the traditional Cuban repertoire are boldly reimagined, enriched by abstraction and modern improvisational accents.

From Basel, the quartet resonates as an echo of their evolving musical community - a celebration of cultural heritage that engages with global influences, forging a sonic bridge between past and future.
