Born in Manzanillo, Cuba, Zahili Gonzalez Zamora is a rapidly rising star in Latin jazz. A graduate of Cuba’s National Conservatory of Music in Havana and Berklee College of Music, Zamora has played on some of North America’s most prestigious stages including the Kennedy Center, and the Monterey and Montreal Jazz festivals, and has performed or collaborated with Ingrid Jensen, Jon Secada, and Paquito D’Rivera among others.
“The festival started with an unexpected highpoint…it was obvious that pianist-singer Zahili Gonzalez Zamora is going to be a major force in jazz.” – Scott Yanow at Monterey Jazz Festival
