The Art Of Cuban Piano is a solo concert presented by Havana native / New York based Yamaha pianist and composer Dayramir González, which showcases the dynamic range of Cuban styles from contemporary Afro-Cuban jazz to 19th Century Cuban classical and its connection with American jazz.
Dayramir González, one of the leading voices of Afro-Cuban jazz of his generation, started his professional career as a pianist and composer at the age of 16 with former Irakere member Oscar Valdés and his Afro-Cuban jazz ensemble Diákara. He received the highest awards at Havana's prestigious JoJazz festival in 2004 and 2005 and three Cubadisco awards for his 2007 debut album "Dayramir & Habana enTRANCé" before proceeding to Berklee College of Music as the first Cuban national Presidential Scholarship recipient. Since completing his education he has performed in stadiums with legends Chucho and Bebo Valdés and headlined Carnegie Hall as a representative of the young generation of Afro-Cuban jazz. In recent years, with multiple recorded albums in his portfolio, Dayramir has developed an international following in clubs, concert halls and festival appearances throughout the North and South America as well as Europe. Dayramir still performs annually in Cuba at the legendary Jazz Plaza Festival in Havana while staying close to his cultural and creative roots.
