Just back from a second appearance at Lincoln Center, The Perugia Jazz Festival and a European tour with Black Earth Sway, The Zahili Zamora Afro-Cuban Jazz Quartet led by Afro-Cuban jazz pianist and vocalist Zahili Zamora, bassist Gerson Lazo Quiroga, drummer Zack O’Farrill and Special Guest, saxophonist Yosvany Terry checks in at The Regattabar. Zahili González Zamora is a Cuban-born pianist, composer, arranger, and educator whose music bridges Afro-Cuban tradition with the forward-looking spirit of contemporary jazz. A summa cum laude graduate of the Berklee Global Jazz Institute master’s program—where she studied under Danilo Pérez, John Patitucci, and and Joe Lovano—Zahili has quickly become a distinctive voice in the international jazz landscape. Her work is acclaimed for its rhythmic sophistication, luminous harmonic language, and deep emotional narrative rooted in migration, identity, and transformative resilience.
