In classical music, you know, we need to build up technical skills like to the top level. And we all were all doing that, or we did that at some point. I think we're all still doing it, you know, while we keep practicing and evolving.

We can be better human beings if we are connected to it.

Get ready to dive into the rich sounds of Latin American piano music. In our upcoming episode titled Keys to Identity: A Profound Conversation with Grammy Award-winning Steinway pianist, we have the privilege of interviewing Cristhian Benítez, an esteemed classical pianist renowned for his mastery of Latin American music.

I am originally from Venezuela. I grew up in Venezuela, and as part of the musical education that I got in the conservatory, we were always encouraged and we need always to add as part of our repertoire music from Latin America and from Venezuela. So I kind of like grew up with that. That was part of like my DNA. So I needed, you know, to be able to show audiences about what we are. And when I say what we are, I'm not only talking about being Venezuelan, but being from Latin America. There are so many different composers, a lot of them unknown, with fantastic music. And so I have that, you know, urge to show a little bit of who we are as Latin Americans.

As a multifaceted pianist, improvisation plays a significant role in Christian's artistry.

My way of meditating was actually improvising. I was sitting in the piano and then just let go, and then I could leave and like, you know, cry, laugh, everything. But it was like always through piano. Um, yeah, I, I think like I don't see myself, not in this life or not in our life, without the piano. It's, it's crazy, but it's just like it's who I am. It's part of me. So it's like, it's my everything.
