Hilario Durán

Hilario Durán is a Cuban-born jazz pianist and composer who began his career in Cuba working in popular and orchestral settings before emigrating to Canada and establishing himself within contemporary jazz and Afro-Cuban music. His music blends Afro-Cuban rhythms and folkloric elements with modern jazz harmony and arrangements, and his career has evolved from work within Cuban ensembles to leading his own projects that bridge Cuban and Canadian jazz scenes.
