About
Cuban-born pianist and composer Valera, fresh off 2013 Grammy nominations for New Cuban Express, brings his high-energy band that melds Afro-Cuban rhythms with modern jazz vocabulary mixed with doses of funk and even R&B to create a modern Latin fusion, for those who feel it necessary to label music. The high level of musicianship speaks for itself. The incendiary Cuban alto saxophonist, Yosvany Terry, lights up the band and legendary drummer Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez and percussionist Mauricio Herrera guarantee a continuous burn with clave-based fierce punch and a crisp snap!
