Around the World on Two Piano series
Pianist/composer Gustavo Corrales Romero was classically educated in Cuba and Russia. His career and experience now span over 30 years. His repertoire includes works by classical composers and creations by his contemporaries, allowing him to become one of the leading interpreters of this music.
Through his various concert formulas his main aim is to promote ‘the other sound of Latin America' through the Latin American classical and contemporary repertoire in which he specializes. His company KyG Productions has been producing CDs, books and concerts since 2000.
His debut as a writer Los Herederos, written in Spanish, was accepted for publication with great enthusiasm by Ediciones EntreRíos and presented at the Miami Book Fair International. In the meantime Corrales has finished his 2nd book, which is being readied for publication.
After solo CD productions Palimpsesto (An evolution of the Cuban piano) and Fresco (A wide impression of Latin American classical and contemporary music) preparations are underway to produce Arioso, featuring Corrales’ suite of arrangements for piano trio of traditional Cuban songs.

joining Gustavo Corrales Romero
for CUBAN CLASSICAL & JAZZ on 7 December 2019
Ramón Valle started studying the piano at the Escuela Provincial de Arte in his home town of Holguín, Cuba, at age 7. He graduated from Havana's Escuela Nacional de Arte in 1984. His exceptional talent was discovered in 1985 when he performed in a double concert with fellow Cuban pianist, Emiliano Salvador.
As solo artist and as leader of the jazz quartet Brújula, Valle appeared at numerous festivals (Mexico DF, Bogotá, Havana Jazz Festival) and was soon an established name in the Cuban and Latin American jazz scene. In 1991 Silvio Rodríguez, founder of the Nueva Trova, asked him to join his band Diákara, which he stayed with until 1993. Valle followed this up with an impressive series of performances and projects in Europe since 1995 and his move to Amsterdam in 1997.
In the meantime Valle has become a seasoned veteran boasting multiple appearances at the North Sea Jazz Festival and a growing list of performances at several important other international jazz festivals including in Montreux, Capetown, Johannesburg and Melbourne. He continues to expand his arsenal of original compositions and has also composed pieces commissioned by the municipality of Amsterdam and the Israeli symphonic orchestra The Sinfonietta of Beer Sheva.
Although the influence of his classical background and especially of the triumvirate Jarrett-Corea-Hancock can be heard, the remarkable thing about Valle's music is his ability to weld these diverse influences together to create a unique style that eludes traditional categories.
‘The greatest talent among our young pianists.’ Words Chucho Valdés, prominent musician and founder of Irakere, used to introduce Ramón Valle on his debut album Levitando [1993]. His discography now consists of 12 CDs, several of which were published under his own label RVS MUSIC. His recent CDs Take Off – with arrangements of music by Stevie Wonder, Leonard Cohen, Michel Legrand and John Coltrane besides own work – and The Art of Two (Winner Cubadisco 2018 for Best Instrumental Album), the duo project with his cousin Orlando ‘Maraca’ Valle, were both published with In+Out Records, as well as his newest CD The Time is Now.
