RELEASE PARTY! March 7 at the Jazz Gallery in NYC with Adam O’Farrill and Leandro Pellegrino

"Home" is Latin Grammy Award-winning drummer and percussionist Daniel Prim’s first album under his name, Daniel Prim y Su Parampampan. Daniel grew up in Caracas, Venezuela, where his friends and family gathered at each other’s homes to eat and play music into the night. Music became the rhythm and language of his childhood. Home invites listeners to join Daniel in the parties, or parampampans, where he first learned the folklore songs that weave through the album, breathing new love and life into the heart, soul and sounds of his homeland.

Adam O’Farrill, Juanma Trujillo, and Manuel Márquez collaborate with Daniel on the album, blending the Afro-Venezuelan traditions with improvisational jazz. Each track reimagines and transforms folklore songs, evoking a spirit of vibrancy and resilience.

Traditional Afro-Venezuelan songs feature tambor, melodic vocals, and sometimes other elements, such as the maracas. They are conversations constructed through beautiful melodies, which often take the form of question and answer. For this album, Daniel decided to bring those melodies and conversations alive, evoking the singer’s emotions and feelings via trumpet and guitar, alongside Daniel’s modified drum set. In this way, Daniel brings the music of his memories forward, while making sure the complex layers of its history are not left behind. Rich with the rhythms of the past and future, celestial traditions, and sublime moments, Daniel Prim y Su Parampampan encourages listeners to share in the joy, unity, and beauty of Venezuela, its music, and its people.

Daniel began his musical studies at José Reyna Music School when he was eleven. He continued his formal training at the Simón Bolívar Conservatory of Music, part of the National Youth and Children's Orchestras of Venezuela. Daniel has since toured across the Americas and Europe and taught master classes in Afro-Venezuelan music in Venezuela and at colleges such as Berklee College of Music. In 2020, Daniel was honored to play on PAUSA, Ricky Martin’s Billboard-topping EP, with collaborators Bad Bunny and Residente. PAUSA went on to win Best Pop Vocal Album in the 21st Annual Latin American Grammy Awards.

Along with Juan Diego Villalobos and Gabriel Chakarji, Daniel also formed Caracas Trio, which mixes Venezuelan roots music with contemporary jazz. Caracas Trio has performed across New York City, alongside acclaimed saxophonist Miguel Zenón, on NPR, and in residency at Black Cat in San Francisco. Daniel’s other highlights include being a featured percussionist at Bosphorus Cymbal Fest and playing drums and percussion at Lincoln Center’s American Songbook series for Ella Bric. Daniel currently lives in New York City and will be bringing Home to streaming services and live venues across the country in February 2024.
