In the span of less than fifteen years and numerous solo and collaborative recordings, Cuban-born pianist and composer Roberto Fonseca has established himself as one of the most innovative and charismatic musicians of his generation by blending the diverse sounds of Latin and American jazz, Afro-pop, hip-hop, soul and numerous other shades of music from all corners of the world. Touring with the Buena Vista Social Club, the legendary GRAMMY® Award-winning Cuban collective, proved a fertile training ground for Fonseca's early career. In the years since, thanks to an innovative artistic sense that has never shied away from eclecticism and multiculturalism, Fonseca and his music have become the bridge between the traditional sounds and the new voice of Cuban music. His new album, Yo - which translates to I or me in his native Spanish - is Fonseca's most daring recording to date. Recorded in a single week in Paris, Yo is a finely crafted blend of traditional acoustic instruments with elements of cutting-edge electronica a mesmerizing musical alchemy that pays homage to Cuba's African roots while at the same time updating the country's rich musical lineage.
