After two years of absence, Chucho Valdés — the godfather of the Voll-Damm International Jazz Festival — is back! He performs with his big band, which includes Afro-Cuban percussionists and a chorus of voices.

They present a suite in four movements that explores the history of creation according to the "Rule of Ocha” from the Afro-Cuban religion known as Santeria.

"This piece is very important to me,” affirms Valdés himself. "I think that, so far, it is my masterpiece."

Welcome back to Barcelona, Chucho!
