ALL ABOUT GONZALO GRAU & LA CLAVE SECRETA

Always pushing the envelope

20 years after its creation, La Clave Secreta is a project that stands for "excellence" and

delivers the highest standard of music. 

Our motto? ... quality before anything.


This great and unique band combines three important ingredients: an all-original repertoire, very powerful and creative arrangements, and brilliant performers from all over the world.

In 2009, La Clave Secreta was nominated to the Grammy Awards,

in the category of "Best Tropical Album"

Our style? ... Latin music is our foundation, adding spices and influences from everything we like ... jazz, funk, rock, classical, R&B, neo-soul, and our own cultural backgrounds of course ... 

all of this mix is what makes us unique
