Gastón Joya & The New Cuban Trio

Afro-Cuban jazz trio formed by Gastón Joya on double bass, Miguel Wiwi García on piano and Frank Durán on drums, reinterpreting the son, the bolero and the danzón from a contemporary perspective.

This trio offers a journey through Afro-Cuban jazz with a contemporary outlook. Its repertoire brings together original compositions by Gastón Joya with works by Mario Bauzá, Chico O'Farrill and Charles Mingus, alongside new versions of Cuban classics such as the bolero, the danzón, the filin and the son.

Each performance is built on improvisation and dialogue between the three musicians, with a very prominent rhythmic element that draws on the island's tradition. The line-up is completed by Miguel Wiwi García on piano and Frank Durán on drums, alongside Gastón Joya himself on double bass.

Gastón Joya is considered one of the most outstanding Cuban double bassists of his generation and a reference point for Afro-Cuban jazz and Latin jazz. He has collaborated with Chucho Valdés, Paquito D'Rivera, Joe Lovano, Sting and Buena Vista Social Club, and as a leader, composer and arranger he develops a distinctive language that unites Cuban tradition with contemporary jazz.
