Manuel Valera Quartet
About This Event
Cuban pianist and composer Manuel Valera leads the Manuel Valera Quartet at The Django, presenting repertoire that foregrounds composition and treats rhythm as a structural device rather than a backdrop. A regular on the New York scene — with appearances at Smalls and Bar Bayeux and collaborations with Duduka Da Fonseca, Vinicius Gomes and Eduardo Belo — Valera’s work favors architectural writing and conversational interplay over display.
