Fausto Cuevas

Fausto Cuevas is a native of Brownsville, Texas, where he began playing drums at the age of 11. He continued throughout grade and high school, making his way to Berklee, where he discovered his love for percussion and studied with 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 artists ranging from Latin to legend, including Julio Iglesias, Al Jarreau, Tito Nieves, Roy Hargrove, and Britney Spears. He comes to this show directly from performing with Stevie Wonder in Norway.

This event is part of the Tito Puente Latin Music Series.

This concert is presented by Berklee College of Music, Villa Victoria Center for the Arts, ParkArts, and the Mayor's Office of Arts, Tourism and Special Events.
