Antonio Novoa - Trumpet
Antonio Novoa is Chile's latest up-and-coming jazz trumpet player. At twenty-two years old, he leads his generation and has shared the stage with well established musicians in Chile, including preeminent trumpeter Cristi�n Cuturrufo. At the Providencia Jazz Festival in Santiago, he was named "best jazz soloist" for 2013.
Novoa's musical aptitude was evident by the time he was four years old. When he turned seven, his father Kiko Novoa, a renowned sax player in Concepci�n, introduced him to the trumpet. From then on, his father insisted on rigorous training and he practiced under his father's stern instruction. Today Antonio is grateful for the early discipline that allows him interpretative freedom on his instrument.
Although jazz is his mainstay, Novoa also navigates through various genres, including cumbia and salsa. He is part of the Julius Popper band.
