About This Offer
"3 Revolutions" is a deeply personal composition that reflects my journey as a musician and the profound influence of my father, the legendary Chico O’Farrill. The piece was conceived as part of Familia: Tribute to Chico and Bebo, an album that honors the legacy of both my father and his close collaborator, Bebo Valdés. This composition is not merely a musical endeavor but a narrative woven through rhythm and harmony, encapsulating the essence of revolution—not just in the political sense but as a metaphor for personal and artistic transformation.
The title "3 Revolutions" embodies the cyclical nature of change and the continuous evolution of identity. Each movement delves into different aspects of this journey, exploring themes of heritage, innovation, and resilience. The piece serves as a bridge between generations, melding the rich traditions of Afro-Cuban jazz with contemporary expressions. Winning the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition in 2018 was a humbling acknowledgment of this fusion, and it reaffirmed my commitment to preserving and evolving the musical legacies that have shaped me.
