YUVISNEY AGUILAR & AFRO CUBAN JAZZ QUARTET

Nominated for the Latin Grammy Awards 2017 as Best Folk Album with his album “PIANGO, PIANGO”. 

It is a quartet formed by a jazz trio (Piano, Double Bass, Drums) and Afro Cuban Percussion as essence of both styles.
This quartet mixes Afro Cubanamusic with the new tendencies of contemporary Jazz, achieving a new, fresh and concrete sound creating an exquisite cocktail. 
PepeRivero, Antonio Miguel, GeorvisPico and YuvisneyAguilar (outstanding Cuban musicians with a broad musical career) make up this powerful quartet. 
Among them they have worked with important artists such as: PaquitoD 'Rivera, Celia Cruz, Richard Bona, Mike Stern, David Murray, ChuchoValdez and many more.

YuvisneyAguilar & “Afro Cuban Jazz Quartet” unfolds the rhythms of black, urban, crossbreed and contemporary Cuban musical culture. 
Utilizes the wealth of African folkloric rhythms from the Yoruba, Arará, Iyesá and Bantu , cultures, as well ass contemporary rhythms such as Tango Congo, Rumba, Timba and Jazz accompanied by vocal choirs (Afro- Cuban chants) that melodically adorn each concert and provoke a constant interaction with the audience. 

“PIANGO-PIANGO” in the Afro-Cuban language means: “Step by Step”.
A work based on the mixture of Cuban-Creole music with Jazz and dedicated to the legacy that the African ancestors brought to Cuba. 

The beautiful songs and the contagious rhythms that came to the island at the beginning of the 19th century and that today are the heritage of the Afro-Cuban culture, are brought to the scene backed by the harmonic base and the new trends of Modern Jazz. 

A daring proposal, but above all cheerful!
