Dafnis Prieto Sí o Sí Quartet 

Peter Apfelbaum, woodwinds

Martin Bejerano, piano 

Ricky Rodríguez, bass 

Dafnis Prieto, drums & compositions 

Twenty-five years after his arrival in New York, the Grammy-winning and Latin Grammy-nominated drummer, composer, and MacArthur Fellow Dafnis Prieto has utterly shifted the sonic landscape of the jazz and creative music scene.

With Prieto’s appearance on the NYC jazz scene likened to “an asteroid hitting the city” (The New York Times), and a reputation that rightfully lauds him as “one of the most multidimensional artists working today” (JazzTimes), the Cuban drummer strikes once again with his 10th album, 3 Sides of the Coin.

This album and tour mark the return of Prieto’s acclaimed Sí o Sí (“Yes or Yes”) Quartet, a rightfully jubilant foursome comprising Peter Apfelbaum on woodwinds, Martin Bejerano on piano, and Ricky Rodríguez on electric bass, brought together to commemorate both the bandleader’s quarter century in the United States and his 50th birthday.
