A double-bill direct from the island nation—these two Cuban artists represent the best of their generations. Eliades Ochoa, a member of the famed Buena Vista social club, coaxes the tropical sounds from his guitar, and the young and fiery Harold López- Nussa raises the temperature on the piano.

Cuban-born pianist and composer Harold López-Nussa begins an exciting new chapter of his fascinating career with his Blue Note debut Timba a la Americana, a vibrant album teeming with joy and pathos that was inspired by the pianist’s recent decision to leave his Cuban homeland and begin a new life in France. Produced by Snarky Puppy bandleader Michael League, Timba a la Americana unveils a brand-new sound across 10 dynamic original compositions performed by a tight-knit band featuring harmonica virtuoso Grégoire Maret, Luques Curtis on bass, Bárbaro “Machito” Crespo on congas, and Harold’s brother Ruy Adrián López-Nussa on drums.

This is a double bill not to be missed! Clarinet virtuoso Anat Cohen has always felt a deep connection to the joy, inventiveness, and deep grooves of Brazilian musical traditions. During her frequent trips to Brazil, Anat has found kindred spirits in the remarkable musicians there including the brilliant guitarist Romero Lubambo who was in the thick of the original bossa nova explosion in the 1960s. Anat and Romero have each become regulars on our stage in different combinations. Together, their approach to samba, bossa nova, and other Brazilian music styles is absolutely sublime.
