Chucho Valdés & The Afrocuban Messengers
After having recently received his seventh Grammy Award this retless and brilliant musician surprises us again by creating a new band, The Afrocuban Messenger to once again break new grounds. With them he has recorded his new album Chucho's Steps, where he faces new challenges like the song "Danzón", which begins as a ballad, continues as danzón and chachachá and ends as R&B, the song "New Orleans" which is a tribute to the Marsalis family, or "Zawinul Mambo" a tribute to Joe Zawilnul, the keyboardist from Weather Report. Chucho is categorical in saying "it is the best instrumental album I have recorded in my life." The great maestro returns to Jazz San Javier, now we just have to wait for him and enjoy the musical excellence of one the best pianist if all time.
