*GENERAL ADMISSION | 21+ | ALL SEATING IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVED | NO DINNER SERVICE* Born and raised in Havana, Dayramir González grew up surrounded by music. His father, the celebrated Afro-Cuban jazz trumpeter Fabian González, filled their home with the rhythms and harmonies of Cuba's musical heart. At just sixteen, González took his first professional steps as pianist and composer with former Irakere member Oscar Valdés' Afro-Cuban jazz ensemble Diákara. His original composition won first place at Havana's 2005 JoJazz Festival, earning him a record deal with Cuba's national label Colibrí. His debut album "Habana enTRANCé" went on to win three Cubadisco Awards, Cuba's equivalent of the GRAMMYs. While studying classical composition and orchestration at Havana's prestigious Instituto Superior de Arte (ISA), piano master Chucho Valdés personally mentored him as he prepared for the Berklee College of Music scholarship auditions — where González earned the first-ever Presidential Scholarship awarded to a Cuban national. In 2013, González moved to New York, quickly becoming a fixture at iconic venues from Joe's Pub and Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola to Jazz at Lincoln Center. His Carnegie Hall debut, presented by Chucho Valdés, affirmed his place among the leading voices in modern jazz piano. His discography includes "Habana enTRANCé" (2007) and "The Grand Concourse" (2018), which received 4.5 stars from DownBeat Magazine. He has been called "a stunningly gifted composer and arranger" by The Wall Street Journal and praised for "a pianism that naturally extends the brilliant legacy of Cuban jazz pianists from Bebo Valdés to Chucho Valdés to Gonzalo Rubalcaba" by LA Weekly. A Yamaha Artist and passionate educator, González has led more than 100 masterclasses worldwide and founded the Cuban Jazz Academy curriculum. His newest project, V.I.D.A., celebrates 25 years of creative evolution — bridging generations, genres, and cultures from Havana to the world's grandest stages.
