Nachito Herrera

Considered a child prodigy in Havana near where he grew up, Cuban pianist Ignacio Herrera enthusiastically fuses jazz with his native rhythms. Nachito, as his friends call him, is a treasure to the Twin Cities.

Ignacio "Nachito" Herrera has spent his creative life combining the sounds of his native Cuba with those of jazz, classical music and a mixture of uniquely American influences. Here in the tpt studios, Nachito (piano), Kevin Washington (drums) and Yohannes Tona (bass) showcase their work with performances of De Aremisa Para Nuevo York and Song in F.
