Yaure Muniz has been a recording artist on both the trumpet and flugelhorn inside an outside of Cuba since 1994. His performing accolades include three Grammy Awards as well as a recording and touring career with the Buena Vista Social Club. He moved to Boston in 2007 where he attended Berklee College of Music earning his Bachelor Degree in Music Performance and was awarded “Maynard Ferguson Award.” Currently he is an active member of the Boston music scene as a lead trumpet for several Jazz Big Bands and Latin music Orchestras.
