“Diego and Chuchito knocked it out of the park! Incredible show! Truly exceeded our expectations!” -Valerie Peister, Program Director, Redlands Bowl Performing Arts
Cuba Meets Brazil unites two distinctive Latin jazz voices for an evening of contrasting styles and shared artistry.
Grammy-nominated guitarist Diego Figueiredo draws on Brazilian Jazz, Bossa Nova, and classical traditions, creating a style refined across performances in over 60 countries.
He’s joined by pianist Chuchito Valdés, a two-time Latin Grammy nominee and third-generation member of Cuba’s most storied musical family. His music draws on many styles including Afro-Cuban Latin Jazz, Bebop, Danzon, and classical.
Fontana is delighted to have this remarkable duo as part of this special season.
