Komite Thuje is an instrumental band formed in Mendoza, Argentina, in 2025, born from a quest to find new intersections between contemporary jazz fusion and Latin American rhythms. Their sound blends groove, sonic exploration, and melodies with a strong identity, inviting the audience to experience instrumental music in a physical, dynamic, and emotional way—offering rhythms that move the body while remaining grounded in a distinct melodic language.
The project made its public debut online in March 2026 with the release of "Bob Estafa," the first single from an EP recorded live with an expanded lineup featuring special guests. The track features renowned percussionist Nate Werth, a member of Snarky Puppy. Subsequent releases will gradually reveal the various collaborations involved in the project. The full EP will be available on all digital platforms in November 2026.
Komite Thuje’s music stems from experiences, travels, and encounters around the world. Each composition acts as a short sonic story inspired by real places, characters, and situations, transformed into melodies and instrumental soundscapes. The result is a musical journey where rhythmic energy, improvisation, melodic sensitivity, and a distinct Latin American identity coexist.
The core lineup consists of musicians with extensive experience in the instrumental music scene: Mauro Soto Montesino (electric bass), Gonzalo Giménez (tenor sax), Lianju (piano and synthesizers), Leandro Riolobo (electric guitar), and Lucas Lucchetti (drums and percussion).
For recordings and large-scale performances, Komite Thuje incorporates an "Orchestral Extension"—adding trombones, cellos, and percussion—thereby expanding the project's tonal palette and stage presence.
Komite Thuje offers instrumental music for listening, dancing, and taking a journey.
