Alfredo Triff

Born: December 28, 1954

Alfredo Triff is a violinist and composer. He studied at the National Conservatory of Music in Havana at age seven, under the direction of Radosvet Bojadieff.

During the 1970's Triff borrowed from contemporary music trends from Europe and the U.S. and made music combining avant-garde traditions and elements from the son montuno.

Shortly after, Triff founded Arte Vivo, a group of four instrumentalist-composers, involved with the contemporary music scene in Havana.

Not happy with the sociopolitical situation in the island, Triff left Cuba for the U.S. in 1980. He ended up in New York, where he relocated.
