Producer and Master Cuban Percussionist delivers a unique blend of traditional folkloric rhythms and vocals from Cuba with Contemporary Jazz.
Bio / Background
Born in Havana Cuba, Juan "Long John" Oliva was raised in the Belen barrio surrounded by the sounds of traditional Afro-Cuban Rumba. His percussion training began at the age of 3, as he was highly influenced and taught by his father and master drummer Pancho Quinto.
At age 15, Juan studied with two of Cuba's greatest master percussionists Tata Guines and Chanquito and continued his musical education at the Conservatorio de la Habana Amadeo Roldan, where he then discovered the world of Jazz. At the Conservatorio, he was influenced by such greats as Charlie Parker, Herbie Hancock and John Coltraine. His love for Jazz was further fueled by the Cuban Jazz Ensemble, Irakere; their conga player, El Nino, and band leader, Jesus "Chucho" Valdez.
In 1980, Juan left Cuba for New York to pursue his dream as a percussionist, and performed with talents Orlando Rios Puntilla and Nueva Generacion.
