Danilo Paiz and Olga Vinnik’s Duo Universal lives up to its name. Singing in six different languages and playing a dozen different rhythms, they have something in their repertoire to suit every musical taste.
Background: In his extensive musical career, Danilo has performed, recorded, and toured with legends such as Celia Cruz (“The Queen of Salsa”), Mary Wilson of The Supremes, Tito Puente (“The King of Timbal”), Carlos Santana, and Ruben Blades (“The Poet of Salsa”)–to name just a few. His early work on percussion playing with Latin Jazz legend Ray Barretto is memorialized in the documentary film, “Machito: A Latin Jazz Legacy,” which is archived in the Library of Congress.With his phenomenal improvisational skills on guitar, percussion, and vocals, Danilo makes every live show a unique experience.Olga started singing as a youngster in her parents’ band, which played music in a variety of genres and languages. In the mid-90s, she fell in love with Salsa music and joined Danilo’s Salsa orchestra as a singer. Soon thereafter, an opportunity came up for Danilo to take a smaller version of his band to Singapore to do a three-month residency at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. With a smaller group, musicians would have to multitask to replicate the full orchestra sound, so Danilo taught Olga to play hand percussion.Now, all these years later, they are still harmonizing, improvising, and putting their own spin on popular songs and Danilo’s originals to create a special vibe for audiences all over the Bay Area as a duo, as well as with the full band and every size in-between.
