Big Bad Dena

By Josiel Perez

The rich and vibrant Cuban music culture, deeply influenced by African and European rhythms, blended together with the dynamic and improvisational techniques of Latin jazz music, resulting in a truly unique and exceptional musical tradition.

"Music changed my life. I like teaching music because it allows me to share my experience and joy with my students. Also, I have the opportunity to teach valuable life-skills such as self-expression, communication and global perspective through music."
