The Snake Trio gives voice to the hidden treasure of Venezuelan music. The group is committed to raising that voice and consistently exploring the connection between North American jazz, traditional Venezuelan song, and original musical ideas. Jackeline Rago (Cuatro/Mandolin/Bandola/Percussion), Donna Viscuso (Flute/Alto Saxophone), and Saul Sierra (Bass), defiantly ignore musical boundaries to create a new musical direction that journeys the infectious rhythms of joropo and swing, gaita and soul, be-bop and calypso.

"Latin Jazz with a cool Venezuelan twist that will have you savoring your Coltrane with joropo and your Ellington with calypso"

- Jesse "Chuy" Varela
