Gonzalo Rubalcaba

Gonzalo Rubalcaba, jazz pianist and composer.  Tremendo musico!   Born in an AfroCuban barrio in Havana that was permeated with the rhythms of rumba and the batá, Rubalcaba has incorporated a variety of sources, including a strong classical component, into his playing.

And to think the barbarians in Miami dared to jossle his then meager audience a few years back, spitting on them and accusing them of being whores and pimps, all because he committed the crime of staying in touch with his homeland while living in the Dominican Republic.  Anywhere else, he is revered and thousands attend his concerts.
