Rebeca Mauleón has been at the forefront of Latin and World music for over twenty-five years. A prolific pianist, composer, arranger as well as author and educator, Mauleón has performed with luminaries in the Latin, Pop and World music scenes, including Carlos Santana, Mickey Hart, Tito Puente, Steve Winwood, Israel “Cachao” López, Giovanni Hidalgo, Carlos Patato Valdez, Joe Henderson and others. Her performing and arranging credits include GRAMMY® winners and nominees Tito Puente (Goza Mi Timbal), Steve Windood (Junction Seven) and Carlos Patato Valdez (Ritmo y Candela). As the leader of her own ensemble, Mauleón has appeared at numerous renowned music festivals, including the Kennedy Center’s Women in Jazz festival in 1999, the Monterey Jazz Festival and San Francisco and San José Jazz Festivals. In 2001, she was the recipient of the prestigious Meet The Composer New Residencies Award, for a three-year residency at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. She is also much in-demand as a teacher and clinician throughout the U.S. and Europe, specializing in Latin music performance and history, combining hands-on master classes with high-energy performances by her ensemble.
