Una Voz Creciente & Despertar Cultural - A Rising Voice & Cultural Awakening

Eddie Palmieri's musical career spans 40 years as a bandleader of salsa and Latin jazz orchestras. His discography includes more than 32 titles, and he has been awarded seven Grammys, including the first presentation in the Best Latin Album category. In 1988, the Smithsonian Institution recorded two of Palmieri's performances for their catalog of the National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C., a rare public honor. His solid interpretation of Afro-Caribbean music and its confluence with jazz is evident in Palmieri's astute arranging skills, which assemble those components in dramatic and compelling compositions. Palmieri remains a powerhouse of brilliance and sound that has stirred audiences for more than 37 years, continually and successfully seeking to captivate and elevate the senses, and taking them down paths of intensity to a place where there are no musical boundaries.
