Early Life and Bio
Armando Corea was born on 12th June 1941 in Chelsea, Massachusetts. He was the son of Anna and Armando J. Corea. His father, the band “Dixieland,” introduced him to the piano and other musical instruments when he was just four years old. He learned drums when he was eight years old. He was fully surrounded by jazz music, as his father was from the same background, so it was obvious for him to stay in that field.
He studied at Columbia University for one month and Juilliard School taking musical education for six months. He quit both as he was bored of it, although he stayed in New York.
