25 years after his arrival in New York, the GRAMMY-winning and Latin GRAMMY-nominated drummer, composer, and MacArthur Fellow Dafnis Prieto has utterly shifted the sonic landscape of the jazz and creative music scene. With Prieto’s appearance on the NYC jazz scene likened to “an asteroid hitting the city” (The New York Times), and a reputation that rightfully lauds him as “one of the most multidimensional artists working today” (JazzTimes), the Cuban drummer is poised to strike once again with his upcoming 10th album, 3 Sides of the Coin. This album marks the studio return of Prieto’s acclaimed Sí o Sí (“Yes or Yes”) Quartet, a rightfully jubilant cohort, brought together to commemorate both the bandleader’s quarter century in the United States and his 50th birthday. This two-night stand at The Jazz Gallery will celebrate the release of 3 Sides of the Coin, out on Friday, September 27.
From Cuba, Dafnis Prieto’s revolutionary drumming techniques and compositions have had a powerful impact on the music landscape, nationally and internationally. His various awards and honors include a MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship, a GRAMMY Award for Back to the Sunset (2018), two additional GRAMMY nominations, two Latin GRAMMY nominations (including Best New Artist in 2007), and the Jazz Journalists Association’s Up & Coming Musician of the Year in 2006.
As a composer, Prieto has created music for dance, film, chamber ensembles, and most notably for his own bands, ranging from duets to big bands, including the different groups featured in his ten distinctive recordings as a leader: About The Monks, Absolute Quintet, Taking the Soul for a Walk, Si o Si Quartet: Live at Jazz Standard NYC, Dafnis Prieto Proverb Trio, Triangles and Circles, Back to the Sunset, Transparency, Cantar, and 3 Sides of the Coin.
In 2022, Prieto premiered a new work for Latin band and string orchestra — Tentación — performed by People of Earth with the Louisville Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, New World Symphony, and Britt Festival Orchestra. He has received commissions, grants, and fellowships from Chamber Music America, Princeton University, Jazz at Lincoln Center, MoMA, Whitney Museum of American Art, National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures, Jerome Foundation, East Carolina University, Painted Bride Art Center, Meet The Composer, WNYC, New Music USA, Hazard Productions, and Metropole Orkest, among others.
Prieto has performed at many national and international music festivals as a bandleader. Since his 1999 arrival in New York, he has also worked in bands led by Michel Camilo, Chucho and Bebo Valdés, Henry Threadgill, Steve Coleman, Eddie Palmieri, Chico and Arturo O’Farrill, Dave Samuels and the Caribbean Jazz Project, Jane Bunnett, D.D. Jackson, Edward Simon, Roy Hargrove, Don Byron, and Andrew Hill, among others.
Also a gifted educator, Prieto has conducted numerous master classes, clinics, and workshops around the world. He was on the jazz studies faculty at New York University from 2005 to 2014, and in 2015 joined the faculty of the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music, where he directs the esteemed Frost Latin Jazz Orchestra.
In 2016, Prieto published the groundbreaking analytical and instructional drum book, A World of Rhythmic Possibilities. In 2020, he published Rhythmic Synchronicity, a book for non-drummers inspired by a course of the same name that Prieto developed at the Frost School of Music. He is the founder of the independent music company Dafnison Music, established in 2008.
“[Prieto’s music is] a marvel of acrobatic musicianship” — The New York Times
“That’s the magic of [Dafnis] Prieto: He has the ability to offer compositions and arrangements that are distinctly him” — DownBeat
“one of the most multidimensional artists working today” — JazzTimes

What is Reiki?
The word “Reiki” has already existed in the late 19th century in Japan to describe Spiritual Life Force Energy that is applied for healing.
Man called Dr. Usui established a method to gather that life force energy after rigorous spiritual and buddhism studies and practices. He had a healing clinic and helped a number of people. Dr. Usui and his disciples established the Reiki treatment method over the years.
Now, more and more people are attuned to Reiki and experiencing it. Because Reiki is not like an organized Religion, it’s interpreted much more freely and adapted to global cultures, it does feel more flexible.
Similar healing methods have been in existence for ages all over the world wherever human cultures exist.
Many manuals mention that Reiki is Uni-versal but plenty of people who experience Reiki feel Multi- versal realities. The way that accesses your past and future, places, other-worldly visions and sensations in a moment shows us that Reiki is about limitless potential.

About Daria
Born in Kyoto, grew up in Yokohama, Japan.
I spent my youth days admiring modern art and daydreaming. Plenty of years have passed since I moved to the US.
I started to study Reiki when we all had chaotic experiences in the US, especially in NYC in 2001. When I joined a group session for the very first time, as soon as a Reiki practitioner started run the Reiki, I felt a jolt of electric current and vision of a spark flying out of my chest area. I became more curious to find what that’s all about and eventually got certified as a Reiki master/teacher in 2002. Over the years, I have added Kundalini Reiki, Green Tara Seichim, Silver Violet Flame, and Access Bars and other energy works to my practice.
When I’m not doing energy work, I like to cook, bake, ferment, forage, homebrew and balcony gardening. Check out my Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dariaarao/
