WUCF’S March artist for ‘In the Key of Latin Jazz’ is Afro-Cuban jazz pianist Dayramir Gonzalez. Everywhere around him, music was there in the streets of Cuba. With the sounds of the African Yoruba tribe as well as the legacy of people like Chucho Valdes and Chano Pozo–he balanced developing his internal ear with his sacred craft. He’s gone on to lead his own band-Dayramir & Habana enTRANCé-with Juan Chiavassa on drums, Dean Torrey on bass, and Christian Moraga on percussion.

His musical exploration led him to be the first Cuban ever to receive a full scholarship from Berklee College of Music. He then moved to New York City with full commitment to his music. Representing the young generation of Afro-Cuban jazz, he’s headlined Carnegie Hall and makes sure to guide the youth–especially those with fewer opportunities. It’s all about transcending boundaries and making his father proud.
