La “Sonera del Mundo” se pasea entre la composición y la improvisación como nadie más lo puede hacer, y lo demuestra en cada interpretación. El humor, el drama , y su profunda visión espiritual del amor y la pérdida se mezclan de forma natural en esta artista que combina MANAGEMENT, BOOKING & PUBLICITY PAULO SIMEON 305-632-0361 OR MANAGER@AYMEENUVIOLA.COM All too often today, music listeners are faced with a trade-off. Music is either smart or fun. While the world embraces a hundred flavors of “party music” a very special artist is busy doing the improbable. In First Class to Havana, Aymee Nuviola has created some of the most thoughtful, intelligent, and yes, even danceable music in recent years. Her travel companions on this imaginary voyage to Havana include some of the top musicians and songwriters from Cuba and beyond. On the heels of her critically acclaimed 2013 album, En La Intimidad, Nuviola was invited by Sergio George to participate in his hit Salsa Giants World Tour. She is electrifying enormous audiences with her unmistakeable style and her command of both the stage and the Cuban songbook. Now, new fans and old alike get to enjoy new songs and re-imagined covers in a variety of brand-new, mostly up-tempo, timba, salsa and son cuts. The “Sonera del Mundo” can choose to either take her time to craft a song, or improvise on stage like no other, and she proves it in track after track. Comedy, tragedy and even her deeply spiritual views on love and loss will take listeners on their own voyage of discovery.

Child prodigy-turned-producer Ángel Arce has crafted arrangements that can sound comfortingly familiar and remarkably new at the same time. Arce co-founded the Timba music movement along with Aymee in Havana years ago. Together with producer Paulo Simeon, the team has found a way to travel back to a mystical place that never was and in the process write a love letter to the music and place they will always adore. The new project from Cuba’s most versatile and respected female singer-songwriter. MANAGEMENT, BOOKING & PUBLICITY PAULO SIMEON 305-632-0361 OR MANAGER@AYMEENUVIOLA.COM Desde el mundo, Para el mundo Érase una vez, cuando la música se ajustaba exactamente a secciones bien definidas en las tiendas de discos y géneros como el rock, el pop, el jazz, la salsa, el tango y lo clásico tenían sus propios artistas, audiencias y sedes. Sin embargo, la música cubana fue siempre la excepción de la regla. Durante generaciones, desde Ernesto Lecuona a Israel López Cachao y más allá, los mejores músicos cubanos han sido capaces de alternar fácilmente entre distintos estilos. A partir de ritmos contagiosos como el mambo, el son, la guaracha y la charanga, o los géneros lentos y desgarradores como el bolero y el filin, cada estrella cubana como Benny Moré o Celia Cruz han enorgullecido y dado realce a esa capacidad innata cubana para crear calidad en muchos géneros. Aymée Nuviola, al igual que la propia Cuba, encarna esa mezcla mágica. Nacida en una familia de músicos, algunos de sus primeros recuerdos están en el piano, a través de melodías entre las lecciones. Más tarde, cuando recibía su formación clásica en la Academia Superior de Música en Cuba, tenía fascinación con todo tipo de música, desde Debussy hasta el bossa nova. En su más reciente producción “La Sonera del Mundo” ha mezclado esas influencias y las ha convertido en creaciones musicales y actuaciones que dejan a los oyentes sedientos de más. La música de Aymée es una isla sin fronteras, abierta, amable, inteligente y dispuesta a compartir sus más personales verdades íntimas con el mundo. MANAGEMENT, BOOKING & PUBLICITY PAULO SIMEON 305-632-0361 OR MANAGER@AYMEENUVIOLA.COM From the world, For the world Once upon a time, music fit neatly into well defined sections at record stores. Genres like rock, pop, jazz, salsa, tango and classical all had their own artists, audiences and venues. Cuban music though, was always the exception to the rule. For generations, from Ernesto Lecuona to Israel López Cachao and beyond, top Cuban musicians have been able to toggle easily between styles. From the infectious rhythms of Mambo, Son, Guaracha and Charanga to heart-wrenching downtempo genres like Bolero and Fílin, every major Cuban star from Beny Moré to Celia Cruz has prided themselves on this innately Cuban ability to create quality across many genres. Aymée Nuviola, like Cuba itself, embodies that magical blend. Born into a family of musicians, some of her earliest memories are at the piano, working through melodies between lessons. Later, as she was receiving her classical training at Cuba’s top musical academy, she recalls her fascination with all kinds of music, from Debussy to Bossa Nova. In her latest production, the “Sonera del Mundo” has seemlessly blended her influences into musical creations and performances that leave listeners thirsty for more. Aymée’s music is an island without borders, open to the world, friendly, smart and willing to share her most personal, intimate truths with the world.
