High school students recently got the opportunity to interview world-renowned Cuban Pianist Dayramir Gonzalez on their very own TV program, OPEN 2.0. The talented musician also sat down with BronxNet Show Host Ramon Rodriguez to share information about his life and work on the new international BronxNet program, OPEN World.

Dayramir, the first Cuban national to attend the prestigious Berklee School of Music in Boston on a full scholarship, began studying piano in Havana at the tender age of eight. He has worked with the group Diakara, created by Master Percussionist Oscar Valdez and he composes and plays classical jazz, blended with today’s contemporary musical styles.

In addition to being the subject of their interview, Dayramir performed three songs and generously gave the entire OPEN 2.0 high school production crew some quick lessons in basic piano.
