Alfredo Rodríguez and Pedrito Martinez

Pianist Alfredo Rodríguez and Grammy-winning percussionist Pedrito Martinez are a high-energy Afro-Cuban jazz duo known for their “fearless and virtuosic” collaborative style.

Although both are from Havana, they represent opposite ends of the musical spectrum: Rodríguez was classically trained at Cuba’s top conservatories, while Martinez honed his skills on the streets of Old Havana through folkloric and religious traditions.
