Yusef Díaz has been Giraldo Piloto's primary collaborator thoughout Klimax's incredible 7-year run, and in his ability to create gorgeous, original and sophisticated harmonies, he has no equal in Cuban music, other than Piloto himself. He's written or co-written a half dozen songs and arranged many more and is equally at home with keyboards, percussion and singing, [Kevin Moore]
