August 7 The Dayramir González Trío in the Mazarron Rejazz Festival

Top Latin Jazz in the 2024 al fresco Mares de Papel season in Puerto de Mazarrón

Dayramir González has been described as the natural successor in the long line of Cuban jazz pianist legends, from Bebo Valdés through Chucho Valdés and Gonzalo Rubalcaba to the present day,  and began his professional career at the tender age of 16 in the Afro-Cubano Diákara band of Oscar Valdés, rapidly gaining recognition at the JoJazz festival in Havana in 2004 and 2005

A year later he won Chucho Valdez’s JoJazz Competition and recorded his first album before being awarded a scholarship to the Berklee College of Music, the first Cuban to be granted this privilege. Ever since, he has continued to captivate audiences in both North and South America as well as Europe, while at the same time remaining faithful to his Cuban roots.
