Maite Hontelé is a Dutch trumpeter who has made the musical styles of son and salsa her specialty. She was introduced to South American music by her grandfather André Hontelé, a musician, composer and author. His rich collection of Latin music greatly inspired the young musician. After attending the conservatory of music in Rotterdam, she played with the Cubop City Big Band in the Colombian city of Medellín and decided to move there. During that period, she toured Europe regularly with her own band. In addition, Hontelé worked with artists such as the legendary Rubén Blades and Dutch musician Typhoon. In 2020, the trumpeter returned to the Netherlands and accepted a job as artistic director of the Nationaal Jeugd Jazz Orkest (NJJO). After previously deciding to stop making music, she made a glorious comeback early this year.
