Arturo O’Farrill
Arturo O’Farrill is a six-time Grammy® Award winner and leader of The Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra.
He is from a great Cuban musical family. Arturo’s father was Cuban trumpeter, composer and bandleader Chico O’Farrill. Chico composed for Machito (Cuban father of Latin Jazz) and Benny Goodman. He arranged for Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Kenton and others. Arturo’s sons Zachary and Adam are also Jazz musicians.
Arturo was born in Mexico City, but raised in New York in his father’s Jazz and Latin Jazz worlds. Arturo took over his father’s orchestra’s legendary Sunday night gig at Birdland.
With the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra Arturo makes one Grammy-winning record after another.
Even with strong Cuban roots, the opening with Cuba has been a great discovery and inspiration for Arturo’s music.
