Melón Jimenez flamenco guitar & vocals · Lara Wong flutes & bansuri · Chaitanya Natu percussion & tabla
TRILOG is where flamenco, jazz and Hindustani music meet in a spontaneous and vibrant conversation.
Formed by flautist and bansuri player Lara Wong, guitarist Melón Jiménez and tabla percussionist Chaitanya Natu, the trio traces the nomadic path of flamenco from India to the Mediterranean, building cultural bridges through improvisation and tradition.
The group was founded in Spain in 2025, when three artists from Canada, Spain and India came together driven by a shared fascination for the intertwined roots of flamenco and Indian music. Lara Wong is a pioneer in introducing the Indian bamboo flute (bansuri) into flamenco and was awarded Best Flamenco Instrumentalist at the prestigious Festival Internacional del Cante de las Minas. Melón Jiménez, one of Spain’s leading flamenco guitarists, toured with Anoushka Shankar in her project Traveller. The circle is completed by Chaitanya Natu, an Indian percussionist who moved to Spain driven by his curiosity for flamenco while studying at Berklee College of Music Valencia.
Born from the established flamenco duo Melón Jiménez & Lara Wong, TRILOG expands this dialogue by incorporating the Indian tabla into its musical language. With a solid international trajectory, Melón and Lara have performed over 100 concerts across Europe, North America, Asia and Africa, and their album Confluencias (2024) received a nomination at the Juno Awards.
Although TRILOG is their most recent trio project, it has already begun to make its mark, performing at festivals such as Festival Internacional JAZZMADRID, JazzOn Festival and Festival des Andalousies Atlantiques (Morocco). Their debut album is scheduled for release in autumn 2026.
