Triangles and Circles is the sixth album by Dafnis Prieto and the second with his sextet.

Dafnis is founder of the independent record company, Dafnison Music. This recording illuminates the drummer as a composer of considerable depth who melds the folklore of his Afro-Cuban roots with modern harmonies rich with counterpoint and virtuosic rhythmic concepts. –Jazz Is

“Prieto exemplifyes the best of New York’s new Latin-jazz movement, distinguished by complex, jaggedly modern writing, but also by a deep cultural literacy of Cuban folklore. Since arriving in New York his advanced conception of Cuba’s primal rhythm has allowed him to integrate it into practically any setting… brilliantly! ” –All About Jazz
