 As heard on NPR's All Things Considered! After an enriching experience playing in the female quintet Quasi-Jazz and a duo simply called Yusa y Domingo, Cuban guitarist, bassist and singer/songwriter Yusa decided to go on her own and make her first solo album, recorded at Pablo Milanés' studios with Spanish producer Pável Urquiza. In addition, this 15-track album features songs from a live performance at Havana's Amadeo Roldán theater. From the bolero-inflected "La Número 2" and the relaxed, intimate "Canción de Cuna Para Freya" to the freewheeling "Chiquichaca" and jazz-fusion "Momentos," this talented musician delivers a sophisticated and alternative album, mixing traditional rhythms and contemporary sounds into an intoxicating world music cocktail! "Listening to the bitter-sweet lyrics of new Cuban singer Yusa and the simple sophistication of her music one knows one is finally hearing 21st century Cuba. Her cutting-edge songs map the contemporary emotional lives of urban Havana. Fused inside her music are traces from further afield, from iconoclastic jazz and rock to today's Brazil. Full of the vital energy of experimentation and the textures of musical exchange gained in intimate venues, Yusa offers a whole new way of hearing Cuba." - Jan Fairley | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
