On Bass James Robbins, Drums Tiago Michelin, Percussion Takafumi Nikaido and two special guests: Saxophonist and educator Chad Lefkowitz-Brown and maestro Aaron Goldberg on piano/keys.

“The closing night was at Fabrica de Arte Cubano. Oh my, what a concert, what an energy! The audience was so frenetic and connected that the 90 min show flew like it was only 5! A sea of people, smiles and souls who listened, danced and smiled to the compass of our AfroCuban Jazz” Dayramir, founder.

The educational part of it was also important. We gave masterclass, clinics and workshops in three music conservatories: Amadeo Roldán, National School of Arts (ENA) and Guillermo Tomas. “We had a blast witnessing the immense talent these young students have and how appreciative they were when receiving the advices and knowledge shared by our guest artists”
