Harold López-Nussa – LÓPEZ HAROLD - TIMBA A LA AMERICANA (CD)

Harold López-Nussa, the acclaimed Cuban pianist and composer, presents his debut album for Blue Note Records titled "Timba a la Americana". This vibrant album, released on August 25, 2023, reflects his recent decision to leave his native Cuba and begin a new life in France. Produced by Michael League of Snarky Puppy, the album features 10 dynamic original tracks that blend traditional Afro-Cuban rhythms with modern jazz elements. López-Nussa is accompanied by a tightly connected band, including harmonica virtuoso Grégoire Maret, bassist Luques Curtis, conga player Bárbaro "Machito" Crespo, and his brother, drummer Ruy Adrián López-Nussa. "Timba a la Americana" is a testament to López-Nussa’s ability to modernize Latin American jazz while preserving the richness of Cuba’s musical tradition.
