Thank you to Kerry Doole at Billboard Canada for the feature in his article!

“Last week, internationally acclaimed Cuban-Canadian composer, piano virtuoso and bandleader Hilario Durán won a Latin Grammy award for Best Arrangement for the track “Night in Tunisia," a jazz standard written by Dizzy Gillespie. It is featured on his 2023 album Cry Me A River, a big band recording featuring Durán leading his 19-piece ensemble and special guests Paquito D’Rivera, Horacio “El Negro” Hernández and OKAN. That album, released on independent Toronto label ALMA Records, also won a Juno Award in the category of Jazz Album of the Year in March. Duran had previously been nominated for two Grammy Awards, and this is his first win.” - Kerry Doole

Hilario Duran's 'Paca Por Juanito' echoes the rhythms of guitarist, arranger, composer, and conductor Juanito Marquez, a testament to the vibrant heritage of Cuban music.

Duran himself stated “He was one of the greatest musicians of Cuba. I learned how to arrange for big band, by studying his scores in my early years.”

'Cry Me a River' further enriches this fusion, showcasing Duran's mastery in uniting Cuban influences into a revolutionary sound.

In 2006, their debut album “From The Heart”, with standout tracks like Paq Man and Mambo Influenciado, gained great traction and earned a 2007 GRAMMY nomination.
