Cuban Rhythms
A Musical Memoir

During the 1980s and 1990s, I was trained as a classical pianist in Cuba. I enrolled in Arts Schools and Music conservatories, where I was trained in music theory, harmony, counterpoint, and ear training.  I participated in chamber music ensembles and orchestras, learning the art of ensemble playing, interpretation, and collaboration. While rooted in classical tradition, I was exposed to various musical genres, including Afro-Cuban rhythms, jazz, and popular music. This exposure enriched my musical perseverance, adaptability, and resilience. Some of my own recordings can be accessed through the links. As you listen, you'll be transported to the streets of Havana, and the vibrant spirit of the Cuban Island.
