Cuevas is currently on tour with Stevie Wonder, and is flying to Boston from Norway for this concert. A drummer from Brownsville, Texas, he made his way to Berklee where he discovered his love for percussion, and studied with masters Giovanni Hidalgo and Horacio «El Negro» Hernandez. From Boston, Cuevas traveled to Los Angeles where he currently resides. In addition to performances at the famed Playboy Jazz Festival and the Blue Note in New York City, Cuevas has recorded, performed, and toured with world-renowned artists including Julio Iglesias, Al Jarreau, Tito Nieves, Roy Hargrove, and Britney Spears.
Berklee College of Music, Villa Victoria Center for the Arts, ParkARTS, and the Mayor’s Office of Arts, Tourism and Special Events present the sixth-annual series.
