“What distinguishes Rodriguez’s globalism is his ability to both compose and perform into a kind of ecstasy.”—NPR

Born and raised in Havana, Cuba, Alfredo Rodriguez’s passion for music has always burned brightly. Mentored by legendary producer Quincy Jones, Rodriguez eventually made his way to the U.S. and embarked on a career as a Grammy-nominated jazz pianist and composer. His music embodies the collective sound of his new home in Miami: a blend of Latin pop, timba, salsa, bachata, tango, reggaeton, and bolero. Reminiscent of the city’s diverse Latino community, the music calls upon Rodriguez’s roots and demonstrates the unique way in which “his playing, proficient and soulful, projects a spirited, youthful charm” (New York Times).
