Born in Mexico City, the career of composer, multi-instrumentalist and producer Antonio Sánchez boasts the winning of four Grammy Awards: on the JAZZMI stage he will be accompanied by an exceptional group consisting of Seamus Blake, Gwilym Simcock and DougWeiss
He began playing drums at the age of five and then performed in his early teens in Mexico’s major rock, jazz and Latin scenes, which allowed him to train professionally. In 1999 he moved to NewYork, the metropolis offering him the opportunity to make a name for himself until he became one of the most sought-after drummers on the international jazz scene. With his latest project “Shift,”Sánchez has given voice to songs and performances by a spectrum of international songwriters who have relied on him in order to imagine their pieces in a different light. The common thread is the fragility of our current political and social climate, always keeping the desire for hope and improvement central.
