Ana Carla Maza is the new voice of Cuba – an emblem of the excellence and innovation of the emerging Cuban generation. With her unique blend of cello virtuosity, soulful vocals, and magnetic stage presence, she has become one of the most prominent Cuban singer-composers on the international scene.

Her acclaimed debut album, La flor (2020), was followed by the breakout success of Bahía, which led to a tour of over 150 concerts. In 2023, she released Caribe, her third album – a bold, colourful celebration of Latin and Caribbean music. Inspired by the legendary Afro-Cuban jam sessions known as descargas, Caribe blends vibrant Caribbean rumbas, emotive Argentine tangos, Brazilian bossa-jazz and samba, and more. Rooted in her Cuban heritage, the album earned international acclaim, winning the Transglobal World Music Chart award for Best Album of North & Central America & the Caribbean and received a nomination for Les Victoires du Jazz.
