Arturo O’Farrill is a Grammy and Latin Grammy-winning pianist and composer blending Afro-Cuban rhythms with modern jazz. Born in Mexico and raised in New York City, he is the son of Cuban jazz legend Chico O’Farrill. Arturo is the founder of the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra and the Afro Latin Jazz Alliance, pushing the boundaries of Latin jazz with innovative big band arrangements and cross-cultural collaborations.
Known for albums like Fandango at the Wall, The Offense of the Drum, and Four Questions, O’Farrill’s music is politically charged, rhythmically complex, and globally inspired—connecting jazz with traditions from Cuba, Mexico, and beyond.
