Amaury Acosta, aka King Klave: drummer, composer, producer, educator, curator, and entrepreneur from Hell's Kitchen. Cuban-American, born in New York to Cuban parents, constantly lost in the childlike wonder of his discovery. Founded (U)nity, a collective of five international musicians fusing Afro-Cuban grooves with modern sounds across five international tours. His debut album brought together over 20 musicians including Pino Palladino and Pedrito Martinez, pressed on hand-crafted vinyl made in Italy. NPR's Felix Contreras named it a 2022 Staff Pick. King Klave has been in every music room in this city.
