Dayramir González Vicet is a Cuban pianist, composer, arranger, and producer.
In 2004 he formed his own project Dayramir & Habana enTRANCe, which has performed internationally since its inception.
While still attending Berklee College of Music, in 2012, he was selected by Chucho Valdés, a mentor to González, to be part of Carnegie Hall's Voices of Latin America series, where he represented, along with Aldo López-Gavilán the young generation of Afro-Cuban jazz pianists. According to his website, he now lives in the South Bronx.
Awards and recognition
Featured in the award-winning book Danzón: Circum-Caribbean Dialogues in Music and Dance, he is considered a main proponent of continuing the tradition of Cuban music as he combines "formal elements of standard jazz practice...with elements of the danzón." He is among the few Cuban jazz artists rescuing the danzón and "reinventing the genre on the basis of diverse constructions of identity."
