Grammy®
Award-nominated artists Alfredo Rodríguez and Pedrito Martinez first worked
together on Alfredo’s 2012 release The Invasion Parade. Since that initial
recording session, they have had the rare occasion to perform together as a
duo, leaving audiences completely mesmerized by their fearless and virtuosic
playing.
Each artist
brings a different approach to the collaboration. A protégé of Quincy Jones,
who took him under his wing when he defected to the US in 2009, Rodriguez was
schooled in the rigorous classical conservatories of Havana. His riveting
artistry is informed as much by Bach and Stravinsky as it is by his Afro Cuban
and jazz roots. Martinez’ musical training came directly from the streets of
the Cayo Hueso neighborhood of Old Havana in which he was raised and he has
subsequently performed with artists such as Sting, Paul Simon, and Wynton
Marsalis. Together, these two master musicians take listeners on a unique and
exciting journey on Duologue.
