ABOUT
The Cuban pianist and composer Luis Lugo is one of the most prominent interpreters of classical and Cuban music. He possesses a long and outstanding trajectory in different countries in Latin America and Europe.
As a concert pianist (both classical and popular) and arranger, an Afro-Cuban jazz pianist, born and raised in La Habana, Lugo is one of the few artists in the world that can perform—in one same concert—from classical pieces, such as Scriabin’s or Rachmaninoff’s sonatas, to the most popular Ibero-American, Cuban, or jazz repertoire, with a novel harmonic conception and virtuous creativity, while conserving a concert style in any of the aforementioned genres. He is recognized by the media and specialized critics as being a giant of Cuban music at an international level and is considered “Cuba’s piano.”

Elsa Puppolo, Argentinian pianist. "...Throughout all the pieces he showed in an increasing way, a complex management of the virtuosity.
