The group continues the tradition of musical innovation that has been the historic trend of the string quartet by incorporating diverse styles and musical techniques, and through the use of improvisation. The group plays their own compositions and arrangements, as well as compositions from living composers such as Paquito D’Rivera, Aldemaro Romero, and Gene Pritsker.

Sweet Plantain’s unique sound is a fusion of classical, jazz, Latin, funk, and pop.
