Chucho Valdés

& The Afro-Cuban Messengers

With more than a half-century of innovation behind him, Cuban pianist Chucho Valdés is at the peak of his performing career. Hailed by The New York Times as "the dean of Latin jazz" and "one of the world's great virtuosic pianists," he has recorded more than eighty albums, winning five GRAMMYS® and three Latin GRAMMYS®. With a new CD that adds unexpected influences to its Afro-Cuban jazz core, a worldwide touring schedule that included more than 120 concerts last season, and an endless stream of new ideas in his mind, Chucho Valdés enjoys that rare honor of being both a living legend and an enduring force of nature.
