这位来自多米尼加圣多明各的乐手弹奏的钢琴中带着浓浓的异国风情，他热情而浓烈的演奏堪称拉丁爵士的经典范例。
出生于音乐世家的Michel Camilo五岁时就显示出作曲的天分，16岁成为国立交响乐团的钢琴手。1979年到纽约发展后，以《Why Not》和《Caribe》两曲蛮声爵士乐坛，其中的《Why Not》更在The Manhattan Transfer的重新诠释下获得格莱美最佳拉丁爵士大奖。80年代中期以后，在卡纳基举行音乐会，定期在全国乃至欧洲进行巡演，Michel Camilo逐渐成为爵士乐坛的一颗耀眼的明星。1987年，他应邀成为国立交响乐团的指挥，负责他自己的葛莱美获奖作品《The Goodwill Games Theme》。同年，Michel Camilo成为Heineken爵士音乐节的音乐导演。此后Michel Camilo事业一帆风顺，他的单曲频频上榜，他的作品和身影也常常出现在各大音乐节上。2001年，他的演奏还出现在拉丁爵士电影《Calle 54》的原声大碟中。

An exciting and high-powered virtuoso pianist, Michel Camilo came from a very musical family (with all nine of his uncles being musicians). Originally playing accordion, he switched to piano when he was 16. After moving to New York in 1979, his song Why Not? became a hit for the Manhattan Transfer and caught on as a standard, and Caribe entered the repertoire of Dizzy Gillespie. Camilo, who worked with Paquito dRiveras band for three years (cutting an album with Why Not? as the title cut), recorded for Electric Bird (sessions reissued by Evidence) and Columbia, and worked as a leader beginning in the mid-80s. He has released numerous albums under his own name, including Spirit of the Moment in 2007.
