Yilian Cañizares, 1981, was born in Havana. Early talent, just seven years old, is admitted to the prestigious Manuel Saumell Music Academy to study violin. His style reflects a wide variety of influences, with touches of jazz, classical music and Cuban music. Some critics talked about a jazz orchestration mixed with a Yoruba ritual. Yilian Cañizares sings in Spanish, Yoruba and French, and one of his distinctive features is the natural ability to sing and play the violin at the same time.
Omar Sosa Cuban pianist and pianist, born in 1965, nominated seven times for the Grammy, is one of the most versatile and complete jazz musicians of his generation. He has been able to blend admirably with an extensive range of jazz, world music and electronics elements with its Afro-Cuban roots, creating a fresh and original sound with a strong Latin flavor, but always with improvisation. Sosa's career embodies the open mindedness of a giramondo artist (lived in northern and southern America, Cuba and Spain) and visionary, who has worked unceasingly to try to build a coherent and personal, truly cosmopolitan music vision.
