—Baterista / Compositor / Educador Adoptando un lenguaje multicultural, mientras se desarrolla en varias disciplinas dentro de la música, el compositor, baterista y productor mexicano radicado en Chicago, Gustavo Cortiñas se ha probado como un dinámico y melódico artista, comprometido con construir puentes de empatía y entendimiento, en tiempos de narrativas reductivas y paredes fronterizas. Descrito por AllAboutJazz, como “Uno de los mas imaginativos y creativos compositiores de Chicago”, “la música de Cortiñas’ tiene el blues y un sentir profundo..a veces es estridente, a veces solemne, pero la música siempre está empapada de emoción” (Modern Drummer). Esto se puede escuchar en sus discos como lider: Snapshot (2013), ESSE (OA2 Records 2017), Desafío Candente (2021), Kind Regards / Saludos Afectuosos (2022), Live In Chicago: (2024) y “La Crisis No Conoce Fronteras” (2025). “Gustavo Cortiñas es un músico con un mensaje de justicia social. Lo transmite en un estilo que fusiona la sensibilidad melódica de su México ancestral con la compleja síncopa del jazz” (ALLABOUTJAZZ). Su sexta producción "La Crisis No Conoce Fronteras," presenta una narrativa musical que examina la sustentabilidad y la interconexión global, y ha sido aclamada por la revista Downbeat como “Música impactante, marcada por toda la pena, el conflicto, la confusión, la rabia y los destellos de alegría que conforman la desconcertante mezcla de emociones que siente Cortiñas en este momento histórico… una gran narración sin decir una sola palabra." A través de su participación en estos y otros más de 50 lanzamientos discográficos, “El diestro toque de Cortiñas reafirma su condición como uno de los grandes bateristas de la nueva guardia en la Ciudad de Chicago” (ChicagoReader). Egresado de Loyola University New Orleans (BM Jazz, Minor en Filosofía), y Northwestern University (MM Jazz), Gustavo lleva casi dos década desarrollando una carrera musical exitosa en Estados Unidos, liderando y acompañando ensambles en escenarios y festivales de renombre a nivel internacional en Norteamérica, Sudamérica, Asia, Oceanía, y Europa. Durante su tiempo en Chicago, Gustavo se ha convertido en uno de los bateristas más buscados, tocando y grabando con Chuchito Valdés, Entre Amigos, Emily Kuhn, Javier Red’s Imagery Converter, Matt Peterson, Kitt Lyles, Erik Skov, Michael Hudson-Casanova, Roy McGrath, Kyle Madsen, Vladimir Cetkar, Sasha Bayan, Amos Gillespie, y Carla Campopiano, entre otros. En 2025 Gustavo fue otorgado la distinción de Creador de Arte, e indujido al Sistema Nacional de Creadores de Arte en México, y reconocido como el “Chicagoan of the Year in Jazz 2025” (personaje del año en Jazz) por el Chicago Tribune. En 2025, también fue ganador del premio John Stites Jazz Award. Cortiñas es miembro del Chicago Jazz Composer's Collective, presentándose regularmente en su residencia mensual en el legendario Green Mill. Gustavo Cortiñas es patrocinado por Bosphorus Cymbals y Canopus Drums, y ha recibido becas y apoyos del Fondo Nacional Para La Cultura y las Artes en México, el Illinois Arts Council, y el Departamento de Asuntos Culturales y Eventos Especiales de la Ciudad de Chicago, y Pathways To Jazz. Su disco Desafío Candente, una expansiva meditación de la vida y la lucha Latinoamericana, ganó un merecido puesto entre los mejores lanzamientos del año 2021 en Jazziz, y 33third, y fue listado entre los mejores albumes de jazz latino por la Annual Jazz Critics Poll en 2021, y entre los mejores calificados discos del 2021 por Downbeat, entre otros elogios de la crítica. “La música de Cortiñas es inspiradora, robusta, melódica, y pone tu cuerpo en movimiento; es una emocionante mezcla de las influencias de este artista en el jazz y en Latinoamérica, incluyendo México, su tierra natal” (DOWNBEAT). Nacido en la cd. de México, hijo de un profesor de universidad de origen uruguayo, y de una maestra de primaria mexicana, Cortiñas se crió en un ambiente rodeado de libros de todo tipo, que variaban desde la filosofía y la religión, a la historia, la economía y el arte. La música era igual de diversa: haya sido con la voz de Chavela Vargas, las operas de Wagner, el grito de justicia del rock en español, o las suaves canciones de Edith Piaf, la música de todos tipos siempre estuvo ahí. A los diez años se enamoró de la batería, y fue rapidamente seducido por la sincopa y la improvisación del jazz. Este amor lo inspiró a realizar un largo viaje lejos de casa. Primero se dirigió a Nuevo Orleáns, la cuna del jazz, y después a Chicago, lugar que ahora llama hogar. Esta trayectoría formó la base para su obra: el folclor latinoamericano, la música clásica, y el jazz; la filosofía, la religión y el reclamo por la justicia latinoamericana. Estas experiencias y fuentes de inspiración forjan la voz única de un artista que continua a desafiar la categorización a través de su trayectoria. Gustavo ha lanzado seis producciones discográficas en las que participa como baterista, compositor, arreglista, productor y líder: Snapshot (2013), "un Smörgåsbord de las atmósferas y sutilezas que forman la experiencia humana... " (JAZZIZ); ESSE (OA2 Records 2017): "una fascinante realización, exploración y destilación musical, de las obras de Hegel, Aristóteles, Descartes, Platón, y otras mentes brillantes" (AllAboutJazz); Desafío Candente, “un palimpseto musical que carga el peso de la historia del colonialismo y neo-colonialismo en Latinoamérica” (LatinJazzNet); Kind Regards / Saludos Afectuosos, en la cual Cortiñas asume el rol de letrista en un set de canciones bilingües enfocadas en la condición migratoria, y que “triunfa como portador de un mensaje que no se puede escuchar lo suficiente y como proveedor de pop acústico sofisticado de belleza deslumbrante” (LATINO MAGAZINE); Live in Chicago (2024), “la culminación de décadas de música. Cortiñas y la banda se deleitan en un ambiente en vivo. No sólo demuestran su conocimiento íntimo de las composiciones, sino que expresan su evidente alegría al fusionar sus habilidades musicales con el compromiso continuo de Cortiñas de fomentar el cambio social a través de la música” (The Arts Fuse). Su sexto y más reciente lanzamiento, La Crisis No Conoce Fronteras (2025), “lidia con una catástrofe que no tiene fronteras: el cambio climático” (WBEZ - NPR). Gustavo está extremadamente agradecido por todos los grandes músicos, maestros, y seres humanos, de los cuales ha tenido el privilegio de aprender en su camino. Entre estos destacan Gabriela Fouilloux, León Cortiñas, Andrés Cortiñas, Andrés Suárez, Agustín Yela, Anne-Marie Garas, Santiago Fortson, Rodrigo Jiménez, Hernán Hecht, Wayne Maureau, Johnny Vidacovich, John Mahoney, Tony Dagradi, Janna Saslaw, William Horne, Victor Goines, Willie Jones III, y Bill Bachman. Cortiñas está comprometido en compartir y enseñar aquello que ha aprendido, a través de su desempeño como docente. Cortiñas tiene más de una década de experiencia como docente con estudiantes de todas edades y niveles. Comenzó como maestro de batería en the Edron Academy en la Cd. de México, donde más tarde se volvió maestro suplente de primaria y secundaria. Desde entonces, Gustavo ha mantenido un extenso estudio de alumnos privados, además de enseñar masterclasses en México, Puerto Rico, China, Ecuador, Argentina y EEUU. Fue parte del cuerpo docente en Flatts & Sharpe Music Academy del 2014-20, Stevenson High School del 2018-2021, y el Midwest Young Artists Conservatory del 2019-21. Actualmente, Cortiñas se ha unido a la prestigiosa facultad de ChiArts (The Chicago High School for the Arts), y enseña también batería en Morton College, y en los talleres educativos del Chicago Jazz Philharmonic. .Gustavo también has sido invitado para participar como artista invitado en los ensambles de jazz de Northwestern University, y para ayudar a coordinar la instrucción de estos ensambles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec557e2bf600523915ec1eb/1620430856313-T932Q3W4CX1Y792EU870/Canopus-Logo+PNG.png Español Gustavo Cortiñas es patrocinado por Canopus Drums https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec557e2bf600523915ec1eb/1620430922040-3N6EMU28ETN22NC2TXG8/BOS_Logo_website2.png Español Gustavo Cortiñas es patrocinado por Bosphorus Cymbals https://www.gustavocortinasmusic.com/home daily 1.0 2025-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec557e2bf600523915ec1eb/1620428616686-48DTJ5C2YFA2TFZOFH96/BOS_Logo_website2.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec557e2bf600523915ec1eb/1620428722364-1JCZ1T0MMHIQE0SNA4QU/Canopus-Logo+PNG.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec557e2bf600523915ec1eb/c512fbae-f334-4d7a-b63e-996359f58fe8/P2J-LOGO-color.png https://www.gustavocortinasmusic.com/bio daily 0.75 2026-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec557e2bf600523915ec1eb/1589997133341-5LDQ5ESO4KRVQBUGJQIN/Promotional+Pic+-+Gustavo+Cortinas+-+FONCA+PROFILE.jpg Bio - Gustavo Cortiñas — Drummer / Composer / Educator Embracing a multicultural language, while investing in a variety of disciplines within the music itself, Mexican born, and Chicago based drummer, composer, & producer Gustavo Cortiñas, has distinguished himself as a dynamic and melodic artist, committed to building empathy and understanding through music, in times of border walls and reductive narratives. Described as “One of Chicago’s most imaginative and exciting composers” (AllAboutJazz), “Cortiñas’ music is bluesy and deeply felt..sometimes it is raucus, sometimes solemn, but the music is always drenched in emotion.” (Modern Drummer). This can be heard on his six records as a leader, "Snapshot" (2013), "ESSE" (2017) “Desafío Candente” (2021), “Kind Regards” (2022), “Live in Chicago” (2024), and "The Crisis Knows No Borders". “Gustavo Cortiñas is a musician with a message, one of social justice. He delivers it in a style that fuses the melodic sensibilities of his ancestral Mexico with the complex syncopation of jazz.” (ALLABOUTJAZZ). His sixth discographic production "The Crisis Knows No Borders" presents a compelling musical narrative that examines sustainability and global interconnectedness, which Downbeat calls “impactful music, marked with all the sorrow, strife, confusion, anger and bits of joy that go into the confounding mix of emotions Cortiñas feels at this moment in history…great storytelling without saying a word”. “Cortiñas doesn’t just write music—he builds bold, urgent conversations into his compositions.” (jazzviews.net) Through these critically acclaimed productions and his participation in more than 50 other discographic productions, “Cortiñas’s deft touch reaffirms his status as one of the great drummers in the City’s new guard.” (ChicagoReader). A graduate of Loyola University New Orleans (BM Jazz, Minor in Philosophy), and Northwestern University (MM Jazz), Gustavo Cortiñas has developed a successful career in the US for almost two decades, leading and accompanying ensembles in renowned stages and festivals in North America, South America, Asia, Oceania, and Europe. During his time in Chicago, Gustavo has become one of the most sought out drummers, performing and recording with Chuchito Valdés, Entre Amigos, Emily Kuhn, Javier Red’s Imagery Converter, Matt Peterson, Kitt Lyles, Erik Skov, Michael Hudson-Casanova, Roy McGrath, Kyle Madsen, Vladimir Cetkar, Sasha Bayan, Amos Gillespie, and the Carla Campopiano Trio, among others. In 2025 Gustavo was inducted into the Sistema Nacional de Creadores de Arte in Mexico, and recognized as the “Chicagoan of the Year in Jazz 2025” by the Chicago Tribune. Cortiñas is the recipient of the John Stites Jazz Award 2025. As a member of the Chicago Jazz Composer's Collective, he performs regularly at their monthly residency at Chicago's very own Green Mill. Gustavo Cortiñas is a proud endorser of Canopus Drums & Bosphorus Cymbals, and has been recipient of grants from the Mexican National Endowment of the Arts (FONCA), the Illinois Arts Council (IACA), the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE), and Pathways To Jazz. His album Desafío Candente, a sprawling meditation on Latin American life and struggles, earned a well-deserved spot in Jazziz, and 33third’s list of the 2021’s Best Releases, amongst Downbeat’s top rated records of the year, and was listed among the Annual Jazz Critics Poll Top Latin Jazz Albums of 2021, among other critical praise. “Cortiñas' music is uplifting, robust, melodic, and gets your body moving; it's an exciting blend of the artist's musical influences from jazz and Latin America, including his native Mexico.” (DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE) Born and raised in Mexico, son to a Uruguayan university professor and a Mexican elementary school educator, Cortiñas grew up surrounded by books of all kinds, ranging from religion and philosophy, to history, economics and art. Music was just as diverse: be it through voice of Chavela Vargas, Wagner’s operas, the revolutionary cry of Rock en Español, or the soothing songs of Edith Piaf, music of all kinds was always there. At age 10, he fell in love with the drums, and was soon seduced by the syncopated and improvised beat of Jazz. This love inspired a journey far from home. First traveling to New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz, and later Chicago, the place he now calls home. This journey set the foundation for his work: Latin American folklore, classical music, and jazz; philosophy, spirituality and the Latin American cry for justice. These experiences and streams of inspiration forge the unique voice of an expansive artist who will continue to defy categorization in many years to come. Cortiñas has relased five albums as a leader, in which he acts as drummer, composer, arranger, bandleader and producer. Snapshot (2013), "a Smörgåsbord of the moods and nuances that make up the human experience," (Jazziz); ESSE (2017) "a fascinating musical realization, exploration, and distillation of the works of Hegel, Aristotle, Descartes, Plato, and other brilliant minds" (AllAboutJazz); and Desafío Candente (2021), “a musical palimpsest that carries the weight of the history of colonialism and neocolonialism of the entire southern part of the Americas” (LatinJazzNet); Kind Regards / Saludos Afectuosos, where he takes on the role of lyricist in a bilingual song set that focused on the immigrant codition, which “triumphs both as a bearer of a message that can’t be heard enough and as purveyor sophisticated acoustic pop of arresting beauty” (LATINO MAGAZINE); Live in Chicago, “the culmination of a decades worth of music. Cortiñas and band revel in a live setting. They not only demonstrate their intimate knowledge of the compositions, but express their evident joy at melding their musical skills with Cortiñas’s continuing commitment to encouraging social change through music.” (The Arts Fuse). And his latest release The Crisis Knows No Borders, in which he “tackles a catastrophe beyond borders: Climate change” (WBEZ - NPR) Gustavo is extremely thankful of all the great musicians, mentors, and human beings he has been privileged enough to learn from along the way. Some that stand out are Gabriela Fouilloux, León Cortiñas, Andrés Cortiñas, Andrés Suárez, Agustín Yela, Anne-Marie Garas, Santiago Fortson, Rodrigo Jiménez, Hernán Hecht, Wayne Maureau, Johnny Vidacovich, John Mahoney, Tony Dagradi, Janna Saslaw, William Horne, Victor Goines, Willie Jones III, and Bill Bachman. Cortiñas is invested in giving back and sharing what he has learned. He started as the drum set instructor at the Edron Academy in Mexico City in 2004. Since then, Gustavo has had an extensive private studio, and also taught master classes in Mexico, Puerto Rico, China, Ecuador, Argentina, and around the US. He taught at Flatts & Sharpe Music Academy 2014-2020, and has been a guest artist with the jazz small ensembles at Northwestern University.
