Luis Enrique “Kiki” Sanchez, a native of Lima, Peru, was born into the musical embrace of the famous Maximo Sanchez. His formal education began in Peru, with Coco Macedo and Edermi Chavez, and molded himself into a well-rounded musician by playing in local bands such as, La Peru Salsa All-Stars, Orquesta Majestic, and La Unica. In search of a broader musical journey, he left Peru to increase the depth of his knowledge and experience. His crisp style has left a lasting impression on collective works by playing with luminaries like Israel Lopez, Cachao, James Moody, and on the 2005 Grammy nominated “Blown Away” by Arturo Sandoval and Frankie Marcos. The list of albums, tours and performances he’s accompanied on is long and distinguished. His zeal and passion for music is instantly recognized upon you meeting him. His first solo album, “Dreams”, is due for release on Orun Music. This masterful collection of Latin Jazz compositions is reminiscent of his father Maximo Sanchez. It is the sum of all his training, but also of his imagination, desires, and aspirations for music. Upon you hearing it, you will immediately get a sense of what he’s always been striving to convey. “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams” – Kiki Sanchez
