Los Primos Project is happy to announce that our most amazing piano player from Los Primos 2012 and 2014 will be returning as part of Los Primos 2017.

Ahmed Alom is a virtuoso classical pianist who had just been awarded and full tuition scholarship to the Manhattan School of Music. He is also turning heads in Havana with his latin jazz improvisation and that is not easy to do. We truly have one of the very best of Cuba's next generation of musicians with us for 5 weeks. Don't miss it.

Connie Maidment is the winner of the 2017  Trip for 4 to Cuba! Congratulations!

We also are happy to announce that the following students from our Los Primos Ticket Selling Team will be awarded

We are looking for talented students who have been playing for one or two years and are looking to get serious about their learning.

Our Rockingham Primos under the direction of legendary drummer David Burton, had a couple of key players graduate to university, so we are looking for experienced high school level players on bass, guitar, trumpet and tenor sax.

We have had such success with the Rockingham group that we want to start a new band called the Bayview Primos which will rehearse from 4:00 to 6:00 on Tuesdays at Townie’s Music (246 Bedford Highway). We are looking for talented students who have been playing for one or two years and are looking to get serious about their learning. We are also looking to start a new group in Dartmouth, which would rehearse on Mondays from 7:00 to 9:00 at 18 Rose St.

Los Primos (the cousins) was started in 1997 when Jeff and Amara Goodspeed held the first fundraising dance to try and help Cuban music schools deal with an aging fleet of instruments that were failing fast.
