Regis Molina

Molina is an energetic saxophonist and band-leader. Since the age of nine, when he began his classical training in the alto Saxophone. Now a multi-instrumentalist, he plays the baritone saxophone, flutes and Afro-Cuban percussion as well. Based on Cuban traditional rhythms and Jazz, his playing style is flexible, with strong improvisation skills and rhythm, be it Cuban music, Jazz, Reggae, Pop, or contemporary music. He is on a quest for the spiritual values within the music. In his culture, dance, spirituality and music are interconnected to each other, principles that Molina translates to thru his playing and writing:” I don´t like to separate them from each. I first learned how to dance rather than to play music, so I guess that’s why I love to have a sense of ’dancing’ in me, while "channeling". It helps me to connect and interact more with other subtle elements in the music. Then, I try to make them sound like mine." His passion and dedication to music has seen him receive several awards like the Grammy Latino 2007 with Ojos de Brujo, as well as sharing the stage in theathers, stadiums, Festivals, Tv and many studio productions as artist and musician, and performed or toured worldwide with several renowned musicians, such as Aloe Blacc, Jimi Tenor, Tony Allen, Chucho Valdés, Dele Sosimi, Stars of Buena Vista Social Club & Afrocuban Allstars, Samy DeLuxe, Helene Fisher, Anthony B, among others.
