About Dánae Olano at The Prince Edward County Jazz Festival
Dánae Olano was born and raised in the musical melting pot of Havana, Cuba. Currently, Dánae is best known in North America as a founding member of the all-female band Jane Bunnett and Maqueque. Since its formation in 2013, Maqueque has earned a Juno Award and a Grammy nomination.
Dánae is the band’s pianist and also sings, composes, and arranges for this renowned ensemble. She has performed in some of the world’s most prestigious jazz clubs, including Birdland, The Blue Note and Bimhuis as well as at top festivals such as the Monterrey, Newport and Saratoga Jazz Festivals in addition to Jazz al Parque in Bogota, Colombia. In 2018 she shared stage with pianists Jason Moran, James Francis, Booker T. Jones and Jane Bunnett as part of NPR’s “A Jazz Piano Christmas”, which was hosted by Felix Contreras at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC.
In March 2024, Olano released her debut album, Children's Corner, which is a scintillating combination of original music, along with a powerful version of "Un Poco Loco" by Bud Powell.
