Born in the largest Caribbean island, the brilliant bandleader/pianist/composer/arranger Ricardo Álvarez studied in Havana’s prestigious E.N.A. (Escuela Nacional de Arte) and worked with various rock, funk, jazz, and pop groups in his native nation, before he migrated to Germany in the 1990s. Sooner than later, the Havanese expatriate became one of the main catalysts of Antillean music in Europe, particularly after founding the big band appropriately called Cubanísimo, comprised of eleven instrumentalists and a couple of lead singers, all of whom happen to be fellow Cuban exiles who found permanent refuge in the reunified native land of Beethoven.
