Dafnis Prieto Sextet in Concert
Global Cuba Fest is thrilled to present the magic of Dafnis Prieto and his sextet, performing
live songs from his newest album, TRANSPARENCY.
As the follow-up to his GRAMMY-winning big band album, BACK TO THE SUNSET, which
DownBeat called “one of the best recordings of the year, ”Cuban-born drummer, composer,
educator, and 2011 MacArthur Genius Fellow Dafnis Prieto returns with his latest project.
TRANSPARENCY, from Dafnis Prieto Sextet, was released last October 2020 on Prieto’s
independent music label, Dafnison Music. Prieto’s fearless Sextet features a top-shelf lineup, including Peter Apfelbaum (tenor & soprano
saxophones, melodica, percussion), Román Filiú (alto saxophone), Alex Norris (trumpet),
Martin Bejerano (piano), and Matt Brewer (bass).
"Over the past two decades, Dafnis Prieto has established himselfnot only as a visionary
drummer but also—and perhaps more importantly—as adynamic composer and bandleader."
Dan Bilawsky - Jazz Times
“Prieto is instep with other jazz modernists who love looping lines and complex rhythms.
HisCuban upbringing pointed him toward those before he ever got to the states.”
David Bianculli - NPR
Alain Pérez / Julio Montalvo & The Cuban Collective in Concert
The trombonist, percussionist and singer Julio Montalvo and bassist and singer Alain Pérez,
join forces on an interesting project, a world-class ensemble which will bring together some of
the top musicians from Cuba, Miami and Cuban diaspora, including Kemuel Roig (piano),
Reinier Guerra (drums), Alfredo Chacón (vibraphone and percussion), Luis Beltrán (tenor
sax & soprano), among others...
We invite you to come out and enjoy Jazz, Latin, fusion and a musical journey seasoned with
Cuban flavor and original songs written by Pérez and Montalvo, which will delight an audience
hungry to experience, live music shows in Miami Beach again.
“Julio Montalvo is one of the great trombonist of Cuba, his album Mother earth is dedicated to
the great Cuban percussionist Angá. It is a combination of Afro-Cuban rhythms mixed with new
trends of modern jazz, offering a warm fusion of Latin Jazz.” - CD Baby
“Alain Pérez is a prodigy from Trinidad that’s making popular Cuban music for the 21st
century. Nurtured by some of the greatest names in the world of flamenco, jazz and timba, he
declares that his musical search is about safe guarding the past for a more fruitful future.” - Havana Cultura
