About this Event
Raymond Torres-Santos has been hailed as the most versatile Puerto Rican composer of the 21st century (Malena Kuss’s “Music in Latin America and the Caribbean: An Encyclopedic History)” He has a multifaceted career as a composer, conductor, arranger, pianist, producer, educator, and author. He is equally comfortable in classical, jazz and popular music, and his works span various genres, including orchestral, electronic, and vocal music. He has composed music for the concert hall, ballet, film, theater, television, and radio.
His jazz music showcases the musical richness of Puerto Rican music (aguinaldo, mapeyé, danza, mazurka, bomba, salsa, bolero), the Caribbean world (merengue, reggae, calypso, soca, songo) and South America (samba). The Nuevo Dia Newspaper in San Juan stated that, “he gives life to a new wave of Puerto Rican music: jazz-aguinaldo.”
