To hear more samples of Daniel Rojas listen to samples of his new Latin piano album release https://itunes.apple.com/au/album/latin-piano-expression-4/id704969822?i=704971722
Daniel Rojas' improvises the cadenza to his own "Piano Concerto No. 1, The Latin Piano Concerto", composed in 2006. In this very gutsy rendition, one can hear the strong Latin influences in the orchestra and his improvised solo, including Amerindian, tango and Afro-Cuban gestures, as well as jazz, avant-garde and Classical-Romantic influences.
