DAFNIS PRIETO PROVERB TRIO
Dafnis Prieto drums/percussion, Kokayi rap/spoken word, Jason Lindner keys
Hip-hop, jazz and street poetry are a perfect combination in the hands of Proverb Trio from New York. Master drummer Dafnis Prieto improvises on freestyle raps and vocals by Kokayi, and the spacey sounds of Jason Lindner’s synths and keyboards.
The bedazzling drumming style of Dafnis Prieto is best experienced live on stage. He continuously searches for new challenges, using complex rhythms from his native Cuba as points of departure.
In Proverb Trio the talented drummer collaborates with rapper/singer Koyaki and keyboard player Jason Lindner, who has been described by Chick Corea as ‘a musical universe’ and who leads the Downbeat critics Polls in the category Rising Star Keyboards. ‘Dafnis Prieto stands out for his borderless musical worldview’ (New York Times).
