Paquito D’Rivera Trio

With a career spanning over seven decades, acclaimed musician Paquito D’Rivera lands in Tenerife to offer a unique concert at Espacio Cultural CajaCanarias Santa Cruz. D’Rivera has forged a career marked by interpretive excellence, creativity, and a constant desire to connect different musical traditions.

Considered one of the great masters of the clarinet and saxophone, he has received numerous international accolades, including multiple Grammy Awards, both for his jazz works and his classical compositions. He was a founding member, alongside Chucho Valdés, of Irakere, a revolutionary group in contemporary Cuban music that integrated jazz, rock, classical music, and Afro-Cuban roots. His subsequent career has solidified his position as an essential figure in Latin jazz.

On this occasion, Paquito D’Rivera will be accompanied by pianist Pepe Rivero, a member of a new generation of Cuban musicians who unite the academic tradition of piano with the creative freedom of jazz, incorporating elements of flamenco, bossa nova, and other popular music styles. Completing this talented trio is Sebastián Laverde, a prominent vibraphonist, percussionist, composer, and producer, a Berklee College of Music graduate whose career has developed across jazz and Latin music, collaborating with renowned international artists.

This collaboration of musicians promises a concert where technique, tradition, and improvisation meet to celebrate the richness of Latin American roots music.

Don't miss this music concert in Santa Cruz de Tenerife on 27/11, an unmissable date with Latin jazz in the Metropolitan Area.
