Edgaro Gonzalez has had more than fifteen years experience in Cuban Music and has steadfastly become a leader for the new generation of Producers born in Cuba. British DJ and BBC Radio person- ality Gilles Peterson dubbed him the Cuban “Madlib” when he hired the resident producer & DJ to curate his successful Cuban collaboration albums, Havana Cultura. Billboard magazine reviewed the album as a “brilliant series of Cuban recordings”. As Creative Director of one of Cuba’s original Hip Hop bands “Doble Filo”, and one of the early MPC owners in Cuba, Edgar was one of the pioneers responsible for crafting the DNA of the nations unique interpretation of the rap genre — mixing in cuban funk, soul, rock and classic Cuban samples. He has traveled and performed with Latin hip hop delegations worldwide, opening for artists like The Roots, Kanye West, Common, Black Star, Frank-T among others. Brands ranging from Bacardi, CHANEL to OkayPlayer to VICE Media and SHOwtime have called upon Edgar to consult, collaborate, and produce with local talent on the island. Questlove considers him a record-digging buddy when visiting Cuba and Red Bull donned Edgar as their “Cultural Ambassador” for his leadership and creative direction with producing local talent collaborations. In terms of awards, he has been granted one of the highest honors, awarded “Best Producer” by the nation’s industry standard organization, Cuba Disco. He has also garnered 5 awards from the “Punos Arriba” organization, considered to be the credible underground equivalent of the Grammy’s for Hip Hop in Cuba. Known as a public figure, Edgar acts as the host for a popular Cuban TV show on Alternative Music. Currently, Edgar is based out of NYC with frequent visitations to Havana. His passion is working on the new Cuban sound and unifying the talents of the Cuban diaspora musicians.
