Биография

"A gorgeous multilingual voyage through Cuban, Brazilian, Argentine and Peruvian song craft .” THE GUARDIAN Born in Cuba when Wim Wenders was recording Buena Vista Social Club, the cellist and singer virtuoso Ana Carla Maza made her debut on stage at the age of ten and never stoped evolving internationally from then on. 
 Caribe is the third album by Cuban cellist and composer Ana Carla Maza. It is a continuation of her love letter to Latin American music from her previous album, Bahia. Released in 2022, Bahia was followed by a tour of 150 concerts in 14 countries. During her travels, Ana Carla Maza, who is not afraid to take risks, transformed the intimacy of the cello into a vibrant and energetic Latin-jazz sextet. Although Ana Carla has a classical background, she explores the Caribbean and beyond (Argentina, Brazil) while taking liberties. Her first liberty is to impose her sensitivity and her voice as a woman. "I composed Caribe while traveling the world. In a studio in Rome, on the shores of Lake Annecy, in a castle in Portugal, on a plane trip to Mexico... It was a kind of search for my identity, which started in Guanabacoa, the neighborhood of Havana where I grew up with my grandparents and which happens to be the epicenter of the "rumberos," the percussionists from the pure Afro-Caribbean tradition. "In Cuba, when there was a power outage, we would take a piece of cotton, palm oil, make a candle, and it was beautiful, intense, and calm."
