Danilo Pérez

Danilo Pérez (born December 29, 1966) is a Panamanian pianist, composer, educator, and a social activist.

His music is a blend of Panamanian roots with elements of Latin American folk music, jazz, European impressionism, African, and other musical heritages that promote music as a multi-dimensional bridge between people. He has released eleven albums as a leader, and appeared on many recordings as a side man, which have earned him critical acclaim, numerous accolades, Grammy Award wins and nominations. He is a recipient of the United States Artists Fellowship, and the 2009 Smithsonian Legacy Award. Provided by Wikipedia
