Daniel Ponce
Daniel Ponce (born July 21, 1953, Havana) was a Cuban-American jazz percussionist.
Ponce played locally in Havana from age 11 and played percussion in a group called Watusi. He was exiled from Cuba in 1980 and fled to New York City, soon after working there with Paquito D'Rivera, Jose Fajardo, Andy Gonzalez, Jerry Gonzalez, and Eddie Palmieri.[1] He began recording under his own name in 1983 and soon after worked in jazz idioms with Bill Laswell, Dizzy Gillespie, McCoy Tyner, Herbie Hancock, Hilton Ruiz, and Bobby McFerrin. He also did work as a session musician and as a touring percussionist, for, among others, Laurie Anderson, Mick Jagger, and Yoko Ono.
He died on March 14, 2013, in Miami, Florida.[2]
