Son of Cuban music icon Bebo Valdés and a six-time GRAMMY winner, Chucho Valdés was co-founder of the seminal ensemble Irakere and forged an unprecedented synthesis of ritualistic Afro-Cuban percussion, post-bop improvisation, European classical music, rock and R&B.
Gonzalo Rubalcaba has integrated huge swaths of the European classical and jazz traditions, while maintaining bone-deep ties to the rhythmic currents of Cuba. He quickly gained fame on the American scene, distinguishing himself with his bravura technique and hair-raising rhythmic prowess.
A native of the Dominican Republic, Michel Camilo has been widely recognized for his astounding technique, winning a Latin GRAMMY Award for the 2000 Verve album Spain and the 2004 Best Latin Jazz Album GRAMMY for Live at the Blue Note.
