About Me
Eduardo was born in "el Vedado", neighborhood of Havana City, Cuba, and began his musical study with his father, a violinist of the Cuban National Symphony. Later, he embarked upon an independent study of guitar and piano, until he decided to complete a formal education at Ignacio Cervantes Conservatorio where he graduated as clarinetist.
At 21, he had the opportunity to compose and arrange music for cuban television, an endeavor which allowed him to later complete further theatrical and cinematic works. He also served as musical director of the Conjunto Nacional de Espectaculos, under the talent of cuban humorist Alejandro Garcia (Virulo), and toured to Colombia, Mexico, and Venezuela.
While attempting to explore musical roots and sonorities, Eduardo also focused on the fields of literature and theater. He is an artist with broad vision, interested in genres and styles different from his own, and whose background includes a mix of everything from Bach's partitas to Afro Cuban sounds, as well as music from other parts of the world.
Living in Mexico he played Piano, Clarinet and Alto Sax in diverse groups and formats - singer/songwriters Amaury Gutierrez, Nobuyo Yagy, Sonia Cornuche, Miriam Bayard, and Lila Downs and musicians as Leoginaldo Pimentel, Hammadi Bayard, Oriente Lopez, Coki Garcia, Rey Alonso, Vladimir Ramirez, Allen Hermann, Agustin Bernal, Paul Cohen, Pedro Cartas, Francisco Mondragón, and Gil Gutierrez. Also there, Eduardo composed music for TV shows, and living in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, got an excellent duet with guitarist Severo Barrera.
In the US, where he has resided since 1999, he's worked with Cuarto Mango, Sr. Gato, Shareen Murra, Dexter Payne, Claudia Perez, Neal Alger, Richie Pillot, Joe Rendon, Papo Santiago & Infraverde, Azukar, Hector Silveira Orchestra, Christ Soetan & Friends, Yves Francois-Rocambu Jazz, and Bandoleros, among others. Actually with Bandoleros he won the coveted Award of Honor for Contribution to World Beat Music at the 2003 Chicago Music Awards.
Moved to California in 2006, for months he was the piano player at the cuban restaurant La Bodeguita de Pico, in Los Angeles. And today is a freelance performer for local and foreign bands, as well as soloist with original material.
