Chucho Valdés Royal Quartet
Winner of seven Grammy Awards and six Latin Grammy Awards—and with a career spanning more than 60 years, both as a solo artist and bandleader—Cuban pianist, composer, and arranger Chucho Valdés is the most influential figure in modern Afro-Cuban jazz. Valdés has distilled elements of the Afro-Cuban music tradition, jazz, classical, rock, and more, into his deeply personal style.
