Dafnis Prieto Quintet

Cullen Theater, Wortham Theater Center
The New York Times has compared the arrival of Dafnis Prieto in the U.S. to the landing of an asteroid. His groundbreaking drumming techniques have had a powerful impact on both the Latin and jazz music scenes, locally and internationally.
“Dafnis Prieto is easily the most impressive young drummer to
come on the jazz scene during the past decade. Possessing
awesome virtuosity and astonishing versatility, Prieto has made
important contributions to the music of a broad range of leaders…
His compositions are elaborate composites melding Afro-Cuban
rhythms and modern jazz harmonies into music that is ecstatic
and intelligent.”
