The multi-Grammy© winner singer, musician, songwriter and actress Aymée Nuviola “La Sonera del Mundo”, like the music from her native island of Cuba, embodies that magical blend of musical genres. Born in Havana, Cuba, into a family of musicians, some of her earliest memories are at the piano, working through melodies between lessons. Later, as she became a classically trained pianist and composer at the Manuel Samuell Conservatory, Cuba’s top music academy, she recalls her fascination with all kinds of music, from Debussy to Bossa Nova. Her sound is now highly influenced by classical, American jazz, bossa nova, Cuban Son, bolero and fílin genres. Aymée Nuviola was the first Latin American to sing in a special segment showcasing and highlighting the historically underrepresented tropical genre on the 64th Grammy Awards broadcast in 2022.
