What's it about

Gastón Joya double bass · Miguel "Wiwi" García piano · Frank Durán drums The New Cuban Trio proposes an immersion in the universe of Afro-Cuban jazz from a contemporary perspective. The repertoire combines original compositions by Gastón Joya with works by referents such as Mario Bauzá, Chico O'Farrill and Charles Mingus, together with new readings of Cuban classics: boleros, danzones, filin and son. Each concert is built on improvisation, the dialogue between musicians, and the rhythmic richness of Cuban tradition, offering a modern, elegant, and deeply rooted experience. Gastón Joya is one of the most outstanding Cuban double bassists of his generation and a reference figure in Afro-Cuban jazz and Latin jazz. He has collaborated with Chucho Valdés, Paquito D'Rivera, Joe Lovano, Sting, and Buena Vista Social Club, performing at renowned international festivals and theaters. As a leader, composer, and arranger, he develops his own language that unites Cuban tradition with contemporary jazz.
