Join me for a very special Cafecito with Latin Biz Today episode with two special guests! Paquito D'Rivera celebrates 2 new Grammy nominations this year for his latest album, La Flor de Cayenne (to go along with his already acquired total of 16 Latin and American Grammy Awards)! We also celebrate 40 years of Anne Phillip's iconic NYC holiday production of Bending Towards the Light: A Jazz Nativity in which Paquito will be performing this year!
We dive deep into Paquito's legendary career, from his groundbreaking work with the Cuban band Irakere (fusing complex bebop with Afro-Cuban fire) to his powerful story of seeking artistic freedom that forced him into exile from Cuba. Paquito and Anne share invaluable lessons on creative collaboration, the power of music literacy, and the important mindset needed to truly innovate in any industry.
Don't miss this inspiring lesson in legacy, music, and entrepreneurial spirit.
