REY CERUTO
I’m a Cuban musician, shaped by the rich musical traditions of Havana and a graduate of the prestigious Amadeo Roldán Provincial Conservatory. My professional journey began alongside the Big Band of Maestro Enrique Lazaga, a renowned member of the Buena Vista Social Club. Between 2004 and 2008, I performed at major Cuban festivals, including the UNEAC Festivals, the Enrique Jorrín Cha Cha Chá Festival, and the Danzón Festivals, experiences that deeply rooted me in Cuba’s musical heritage.
I later joined the Big Band of Maestro Joaquín Betancourt, performing at distinguished events such as the JoJazz and Jazz Plaza Festival, and contributing to several recording projects. Throughout these years, I had the privilege of sharing the stage with internationally acclaimed artists including Wynton Marsalis, Orlando “Maraca” Valle, Ruy López-Nussa, Ernán López-Nussa, Yaroldy Abreu, Zunilda Remigio, Pablo FG, Alain Daniel, and Emilio Vega.
Over the years, I have been part of numerous acclaimed ensembles, includings, Septeto Son Tradición, OES3, Orquesta Tumbao Habana, Orquesta Yurumí y sus Hermano Son Caturla (Buena Vista Social Club), and Tania Pantoja’s Orchestra. International tours have taken me across Latin America, the United States, and Europe, where I collaborated with outstanding Cuban vocalists such as Sixto “El Indio” Llorente, Mayito Rivera, and “Nene.”
Since 2018, I have been based in Germany, where I work as a drum and percussion teacher, and also band coach at several music institutions, including the Musikschule Wildberg, Musikschule Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Jamclub-Drumcenter, Musikschule Herrenberg, Musikschule Waldenbuch, and Drummer’s Focus.
Alongside my teaching career, I have performed in major stage productions such as Tina – Das Musical and Disneys Musical Tarzan, both produced by Stage Entertainment, and continue to collaborate with diverse international artists and projects.
My musical path bridges Cuban tradition and international stages — combining performance, education, and a lifelong passion for rhythm.
