DAFNIS PRIETO Boston Premiere!
FRIDAY OCTOBER 16, 8:00PM

Cuban master drummer, composer and arranger Dafnis Prieto makes his Boston debut joined by a stellar group of outstanding NY-based musicians. His arrival in the U.S. has been compared by to that of an asteroid hitting New York. Within a short period of time Prieto's revolutionary drumming techniques have had a powerful impact on both the Latin and jazz music scenes, locally and internationally. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to witness one of the most innovative drummers and a prolific composer and arranger.

“(Prieto) has transformed Afro-Cuban rhythms to the trap set with a light touch and a gracefully deceptive manner of speeding up and slowing down tempos. These pieces are emotionally charged and stylistically diverse, carried along not just by rhythm but also through lovely harmonized passages, horn fanfares, and powerfully conjured moods.” – Larry Blumenfeld, The Wall Street Journal

"Dafnis Prieto's music explodes with energy… He is the essence of a modern drummer, propelling his
original compositions with a singular passion and intensity…" –The Sacramento Bee
