About

Chucho Valdés Maestro del Jazz Latino ofrecerá magistral concierto.
El ganador del premio Grammy, Chucho Valdés, es considerado uno de los mejores pianistas del mundo y, por la crítica especializada mundial, como uno de los cuatro mejores jazzistas del orbe.
Acreedor de este premio en la categoría Latín Jazz gracias a su LP "Juntos para siempre" afirmó "Es el más especial de todos, es un tributo a nuestra propia familia, en particular a mi abuela Caridad".
En 1967 formó la Orquesta Cubana de Música Moderna y en 1973 "Irakere", la principal orquesta cubana de jazz. Entre los primeros miembros estaban Arturo Sandoval y Paquito D' Rivera. Valdés ha sido el director musical de esta agrupación desde la formación de la orquesta y ha hecho música con toda la orquesta, en grupos más pequeños y en impresionantes solos de piano.
Desde niño comenzó a tocar piano guiado por su padre, el importante músico Bebo Valdés, y a los 6 años formaliza sus estudios musicales entrando directamente al 4to año de la carrera. A los 14 años inicia su actividad profesional en la orquesta Sabor de Cuba, dirigida por su padre.
Su revelación mundial como importante exponente del movimiento jazzístico internacional ocurre con el Festival Jazz Jamboree de Varsovia en 1970, donde fue ubicado por la crítica entre los mejores pianistas de jazz de ese momento, como renovador del Latin Jazz o Afrocuban Jazz y exponente del mensaje jazzístico cubano.
Maestro en todos los géneros, tanto jazz, música clásica y música popular bailable, ha impartido conferencias magistrales en la Universidad de Banff en Canadá, la Real Academia de Música de Londres, Centro de Altos Estudios de los Ángeles y San Francisco en el estado norteamericano de California.
Chucho Valdés ha realizado giras por más de 50 países, presentándose en escenarios de renombre internacional como el Carnegie Hall, el Kennendy Center, el Lincoln Center, el Amadeo Roldán y muchos otros. En su carrera ha grabado aproximadamente 50 discos.

    Excellent musician. Excellent venue. Good price. Excellent parking. Well laid out plan of execution regarding numbers played and tempo. Do it again please.

  • Spectacular performer still going strong.

    There's nothing quite like a maestro who's done it all, and who truly enjoys it, and who's still at it. No seats needed! By the middle of the set everyone is up dancing either in the aisle or at their seats, and the band keeps on keeping on. It's obvious they know they're playing with one of the legends of Latin music. None better.

    Chucho Valdez and Irakere 50 put on an amazing and joyous performance at the Kupferberg Arts center. Incredibly tight and incredibly loose at the same time, they had you dancing in and out of your seat with your jaw on the floor at the level of musicianship. No merch, no concessions, just top musicians doing what they love, led by an 83 year old master who is still one of the best in the business.

  • Great performance

    by Johnny on 5/11/25Kupferberg Center for the Arts - QueensRating: 5 out of 5

    This show is one of the best I been to in a long time. Chucho Valdes and Band were great. Everything was great. The music was beautiful . The sound system was configured perfectly. I recommend anyone to see Mr. Chucho Valdes.

  • Amazingly great!!!!!

    by Beth on 5/11/25Kupferberg Center for the Arts - QueensRating: 5 out of 5

    The talent and music in the room were almost too much to take, but I’d take it anytime! Every musician on the stage was in a class by himself, together they defined greatness. I haven’t seen such great piano playing since decades ago, when I saw Eunice Black in the same theatre. Rubies was almost 100, so Chu Chu has a long way to go. May he Live long, and prosper.

    by Barbara on 6/14/23Town Hall - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    The music was fabulous of course. My only complaint was how the piano was positioned. Saw mostly Chucho's back. May have been so he could see the musicians. But overall a great experience.
