Drawing inspiration from the rich musical heritage and the female composers of her motherland, her nominated album ‘Tierra’ features songs that are deeply rooted in the music of the Cuban countryside, known as ‘música guajira’, as well as her original compositions. Thanks to the creative collaboration of all musicians and arrangers, the band crafted a repertoire with a distinctive character in which elements like improvisation and jazz harmonies go together with respect for the Cuban rhythmic tradition and the poetic form décima, which plays such an important role in the ‘música guajira’. This unique fusion of styles has found recognition by the international press as well as amongst the voting members of the Latin Recording Academy.
