“A different side to the great legacy of pianists that come from Cuba... He is the new school,” says BBC Radio’s Gilles Peterson.

Named “#1 Rising Star” in the Piano category in DownBeat magazine’s Critics Poll in 2015, Cuban-born pianist/composer David Virelles grew up in a musical home. He began studying music at age seven and was exposed to the rich musical traditions and the music of Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk, and Andrew Hill.

David Virelles' Nosotros features Roman Diaz.
