Kemuel Roig – Piano

Lowell Ringel – Bass

Hilario Bell – Drums

At age 4, Cuban-born Kemuel Roig had already developed a passion for music and was intent on becoming a drummer. Four short years later, he studied both percussion and classical piano as a student of the Cuban National Vocational Art School in Ciego de Avila, Cuba, a pursuit he continued until relocating to the United States in 2002. At age 18, Roig accepted an invitation to perform at the Umbria Jazz Festival in Italy with the MDC Hard Bop Jazz Ensemble, an ensemble with which he won both outstanding composition and piano solo from DownBeat Magazine’s Annual Student Competition the following year.
Roig has subsequently toured and recorded globally with musicians such as Arturo Sandoval, Al Di Meola, Giovanni Hidalgo, Ed Calle, Amaury Gutierrez, Aymee Nuviola and Isaac Delgado, to name a few. “Genesis,” was released in 2020 featuring renowned names like Chris Potter, Randy Brecker, Alain Perez, and Julio Padron as a biography of Roig’s musical life honoring his musical heroes. Influenced by the musical genius of musicians such as Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Chucho Valdez, Bud Powell, McCoy Tyner, Bill Evans, and Fred Hersch, “Genesis” is seven original AfroCuban Jazz compositions and three world-recognized jazz standards arranged a la Afro- Cuban Jazz.

In November 2020, Kemuel recorded “Live Acoustic Session”.  In 2021 he decided to produce a live experience for all the music lovers wanting to hear something fresh, hopeful, and full of original compositions in the midst of one of humanity’s hardest moments. He is the founder and head instructor of Pianodemia.com, his virtual piano academy for musicians at all levels.
