Ramón Valle: A new route into Cuban Jazz

Ramón Valle’s stage presence is commanding, whetever within the ranks of an orchestra or leading a jazz trio. His performances and stage presence are charismatic, his music – intoxicating.
Ramón Valle was only seven when he began studying the piano at the Escuela Nacional de Arte in his hometown Holguin, Cuba. He later completed his advanced studies at the Escuela Nacional de Arte in Havana. After establishing himself on the jazz festival scene in Mexico, Bogota and Havana, the great Cuban pianist and founder of Irakere, Chucho Valdes, declared Ramón Valle ‘The greatest talent among our young pianists’, when introducing Ramón on his debut album, Levitando in 1993.

Valle’s original composition, Levitando, has since become a well known Cuban anthem around the world.

Havana is not a polished studio product, but a soulful listening experience. A musical conversation between two kindred spirits, full of free improvisation and joy, drawing from their rich Latin and Cuban musical heritage. As Maite and Ramón themselves say, it is the naked truth: pure playing born from trust and inspiration.

For those who listen with an open heart, you will hear not only their notes, but also their souls.
