Yunior Arronte

Saxophonist, pianist, keyboardist, arranger and composer

His interest in music began when he was only 8 years old by the influence of his father Facundo Arronte who is a big saxophonist and composer currently living in the province of Pinar Del Rio, Cuba. In one of the trials he asks his father to blow the saxophone and from that day until now this has been part of his life. At age 10 he began his studies at the EVA (Art School) of Pinar del Rio, but he started this school with a primary knowledge of music and the instrument itself because he had already been two years studying with his father. In this school he had great teachers as were Miguel Garces, Daniel Allerbe, Francisco Valladares, the latter who is now the alto saxophone of the prestigious saxophone quartet of Pinar del Rio (ARSIS) and teacher of music schools of that place.

In this period he was part of duets, trios and chamber orchestras formed by students of the same school and tutored by teachers. These orchestras presented events inside and outside the school as well as music festivals inside the school (EVA). In 2004, he graduates from this school and fulfills his elementary level. He begins two months later a new phase of studies at the conservatory of music of Pinar del Rio (Carlos Hidalgo) who was the principal place of studies. He began to have a deeper curiosity for music, and it was not just his passion for the saxophone, he also began to study the piano and the harmony up going beyond school programs. His interest in discovering musical roots, fusing sounds and directing music led him to study other musical genres such as jazz. Falling in love with this genre, he went to an international festival called JO-JAZZ located in Havana, Cuba .In 2007, he participated in this event with the trio of Jazz (Slansio) led by his former tutor and teacher of music conservatory, in which he obtained a special mention in composition with the work ''Sideman''.
