Dayramir González- Recording Release - Cuban Piano Jazz Series
Cuban pianist Dayramir González brings his recording-release celebration to Blues Alley for a single evening performance on Wednesday, October 14, 2026. The Havana-born, New York-based composer, bandleader, and educator marks his 25th year as a professional musician with the debut of his latest album, *V.I.D.A.*, a project that bridges Cuban, African, European, and American musical traditions. The set emphasizes Afro-Cuban jazz while incorporating progressive rock and traditional Cuban sounds, showcasing what reviewers have described as refined, bravado-infused pianism in the lineage of Bebo Valdés, Chucho Valdés, and Gonzalo Rubalcaba. The evening is co-presented with the Embassy of Cuba, adding a diplomatic and cultural dimension to the performance.
