“Cuba is a blend of diverse cultures and influences, which—in one way or another—form the foundation of what we know as our national culture,” the artist stated in an exclusive interview with Prensa Latina.

Musicality and charm define this young artist, whose work stands out for its commitment to the most significant aspects of the country’s musical heritage.

In honor of the occasion, the institution’s temporary exhibition hall will host a recital featuring both his own original works and pieces by composers such as Ernesto Lecuona, Juan Formell, and the band Los Van Van.

For the first time in his career, the musician will be accompanied by students from the Amadeo Roldán Conservatory and the educational unit of the National Lyric Theater. He will perform iconic tracks including Lecuona’s “La Comparsa” and “Damisela encantadora,” as well as Osvaldo Farres’ “Quizas, quizas, quizas.”

The program is further enriched by selections such as “Quiereme mucho” by Gonzalo Roig and “Sandunguera” by Los Van Van, among other compositions.

A unique feature of the concert is its setting: a space adorned with artifacts that once belonged to the Dutch-born composer Hubert de Blanck.
