DAFNIS PRIETO’S PROVERB TRIO

Dafnis Prieto drums, Koyaki stem, Jason Lindner keyboard

The bedazzling drumming style of Dafnis Prieto is best experienced live on stage, where he stirs up the audience with complex rhythms from his native Cuba. His new project evokes the mood of his current residence of New York. Proverb Trio is a challenging combination of jazz, street poetry and improvisation, in collaboration with rapper Koyaki and keyboard player Jason Lindner, who Chick Corea describes as ‘a musical universe’. ‘Dafnis Prieto stands out for his borderless musical worldview’ (New York Times).
