Alfredo Rodriguez y Pedrito Martinez

  • Berklee Performance Center 136 Massachusetts Avenue Boston, MA, 02115 United States (map)

Pianist Alfredo Rodriguez, born into a prominent Cuban musical family, trained in classical conservatories, while percussionist Pedrito Martinez honed his deeply rooted Afro-Cuban folkloric percussion and vocal techniques on the streets of Old Havana.  

Despite their different beginnings, both rose to fame by dazzling audiences worldwide, earning praise from jazz and pop culture tastemakers like Wynton Marsalis and Quincy Jones. Their 2019 album Duology, produced by Jones, showcased their electrifying chemistry, as did their debut Vivo Performing Arts performance that same year.  

Now, after years of growth and artistic evolution, Rodriguez and Martinez take center stage for a high-energy evening that pulses with the spirit of Cuban musical traditions.
