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."
