About this concert
Cuban composer, cellist and singer, Ana Carla Maza took her first musical steps growing up in the ever-reverberating ‘rumbero’ district of Guanabacaoa, Havana. Age 5, her mother (director of a children’s choir) and father (jazz composer and instrumentalist) introduced her to the piano and at 8 years old she plucked her first cello string, the instrument she would call her own. Following her second album, Bahia, in 2022 Ana Carla performed over 150 concerts. Caribe is her third album release in 3 years and makes a freedom-fulfilling reconnection to her Havana upbringing and Latin American roots. Conceived, written and recorded ‘on the road’ – on a plane trip to Mexico, by the shores of Lake Annecy, from a castle in Portugal – she brings together a tremendous set of musicians to reflect this fresh chapter in her musical story. “A gorgeous multilingual voyage through Cuban, Brazilian, Argentine and Peruvian songcraft.” – The Guardian

Ana Carla Maza Biography
Born in Cuba when Wim Wenders was recording Buena Vista Social Club, the cellist and singer virtuoso Ana Carla Maza made her debut on stage at the age of ten and never stoped evolving internationally from then on.
After the success of her solo album La Flor, Ana Carla Maza signs the quartet compositions of her new album – a tribute to the Bahia neighbourhood where she lived during her early childhood. Ana Carla Maza comes from a family that is strongly linked to music and travel. Her grandfather fled the Pinochet dictatorship and settled in France un the early eighties. Music has always been omnipresent in Ana Carla’s life and she was almost born with a cello in her arms!
Ana Carla Maza creates a musical universe melding jazz, classic music and the colours of Latin America. Cuban and Brazilian sonorities have a place of honour in Bahia, in which rhythms such as Tang, Huayno and Country combineto convey a world of sensibility and hope.
Ana Carla Maza: an adventurer and a natural born pioneer artist.
“The thing I Like with jazz is that there are no boundaries, no taboos. And that’s how I see cello, which can be played as a jazz bass from the fifties or with a bow in a classic concerto style.” Ana Carla Maza
