Created by Philadelphia native, Dariel Peniazek, Kalectiv is, in a way, exactly what it sounds like: a collective snapshot of cultural boundaries blurred through music, words, and collaboration. The music of Kalectiv represents a unique fusion of strong Latin American and Cuban roots with today's funk, RnB, and jazz sensibilities. The final result? Music that is thought provoking, yet accessible in nature, and bound to make you move. The group features a rotating cast of musicians but is held together at its core by founder Dariel Peniazek on the guitar and Cuban tres, Grammy award nominee Ariacne Trujillo Durand on vocals and piano, two time and Grammy award winner Arturo Stable on percussion. Kalectiv was born in 2019 during a residency held by Dariel Peniazek at the Kimmel Center for performing arts in Philadelphia. Following the band's inception in 2019, Kalectiv was invited to perform in multiple venues in South Korea, including the Daegu International Jazz Festival. Kalectiv continues to perform both locally and internationally and appeals to a wide range of audiences and venues alike.
