==Early life==
Arturo O'Farrill was born in Mexico City, Mexico, to Lupe Valero and Chico O'Farrill on June 22, 1960.〔Cristóbal Díaz Ayala and Barry Kernfeld. "O'Farrill, Chico". ''The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz'', 2nd ed., 2003.〕 His mother Lupe was a singer from Mexico, and his father Chico was a jazz trumpeter and composer originally from Havana, Cuba.〔Agustin Gurza. ( "Chico O'Farrill; Helped Lead Transformation of Latin Jazz". ) ''Los Angeles Times'', June 30, 2001, (accessed April 15, 2014).〕 The family lived in Mexico until 1965, when they moved to New York City.〔 Here, his father Chico found work as music director for the CBS program "Festival of Lively Arts", where he formed relationships with jazz musicians Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie, Gerry Mulligan, and Stan Getz.〔 However Chico also worked with many Latin music artists such as Tito Puente, Machito, Celia Cruz, and La Lupe, which, for son Arturo, led to a "psychotic upbringing" in which he was unsure of his own cultural identity.〔(Feliciano Garcia and Martin Garcia Flores. "Cafecito: A conversation with musician Arturo O’Farrill". ) ''NBC Latino''. November 14, 2012. (accessed April 20, 2014).〕 At the age of six O'Farrill began taking piano lessons at the behest of his parents, initially disliking them very strongly before warming up to the instrument and deciding around the age of 12 that he wanted to be a career musician.〔 Eschewing his father's musical style, O'Farrill instead chose to focus on other forms of jazz, listening to artists such as Bud Powell and Chick Corea.〔Alexander Stewart. ''Making the Scene: Contemporary New York City Big Band Jazz''. Berkeley: University of California Press (2007): 244.〕 He also began to receive a formal musical education around this time, graduating from LaGuardia High School for Music and Art〔 and then studying at the Manhattan School of Music, the Conservatory of Music at Brooklyn College (from which he received the Distinguished Alumnus Medal), and the Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College.〔(Zoho Music. ) "Arturo O'Farrill".
