Dayramir González
Dayramir González Vicet (born October 18, 1983) is a Cuban-American jazz pianist, composer, arranger, and producer. A proponent of the danzón tradition in contemporary jazz, he is recognized for blending Afro-Cuban rhythms with modern jazz composition.
González was the first Cuban national to receive the Presidential Scholarship at Berklee College of Music, where he graduated summa cum laude and won the Wayne Shorter Award for Most Outstanding Jazz Composer. His debut album Dayramir & Habana enTRANCé (2007) won three Cubadisco Awards, and his 2018 album The Grand Concourse was named among DownBeat magazine's Top 40 Albums of the year.
In 2012, while still a Berklee student, González was selected by Chucho Valdés to perform at Carnegie Hall's Voices of Latin America series, representing the young generation of Afro-Cuban jazz pianists alongside Aldo López-Gavilán. He currently resides in the South Bronx, New York City, and is a Yamaha Artist.
