Singer, multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer, arranger, orchestra director, and Grammy winner, it’s hard to talk about Cuban-born music genius Alain Pérez without resorting to superlatives. He has worked alongside iconic figures such as Paco de Lucía, Chucho Valdés & Irakere, Celia Cruz, Enrique Morente, Diego El Cigala, and many others. Alain Pérez was instrumental in revolutionizing contemporary Cuban music during the 90's, a decade that changed the country's music forever, and a period where he cemented his place as one of Cuba's most gifted musicians. Today, the very mention of his name prompts a reverence and a smile of joy, because that's what Alain Pérez has come to symbolize: the embodiment of the island’s rich and uplifting music.
