Alfredo Rodriguez Band feat. Pedrito Martinez

About this event

GRAMMY-nominated artists Alfredo Rodríguez and Pedrito Martínez unite two extraordinary musical journeys in a performance that celebrates the rich traditions and boundless creativity of Cuban music. Both born and raised in Havana, Rodríguez emerged from the world of classical piano and was discovered by legendary producer Quincy Jones at the Montreux Jazz Festival, while Martínez developed his artistry through the Afro-Cuban folkloric and percussion traditions of Havana’s streets before collaborating with artists including Sting, Paul Simon, and Wynton Marsalis. Together, their contrasting backgrounds create an electrifying musical partnership. Blending brilliant piano, masterful percussion, jazz improvisation, and Afro-Cuban rhythms, the duo moves effortlessly between Cuban classics, original compositions, and unexpected favorites. Their acclaimed collaboration, Duologue, produced by Quincy Jones, established them as a formidable force in contemporary jazz. Passionate, spontaneous, and deeply rooted in tradition, Rodríguez and Martínez deliver a concert experience filled with rhythmic intensity, breathtaking musicianship, and infectious energy. The result is a joyful celebration of Cuban culture that will leave audiences inspired, energized, and wanting more!
