Roberto Fonseca: Akokan
by Raul d'Gama Rose
In his follow-up to 2007's Zamazu (Enja/Justin Time), Cuban piano master, Roberto Fonseca deepens his journey into his quasi-mystical musical search. Like the mythical Gilgamesh, the pianist has embarked on a seemingly endless journey, a leap of faith into the musical unknown, to find the tonal center of pain and joy, heartache and ecstasy--and yes, in ...
Roberto Fonseca: A Life in the Spirit
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Recognition for the considerable talent of Cuban pianist, Roberto Fonseca has spread far and wide, and if there was another dimension to enter, it would be the one that qualifies an artist to greatness. However, Fonseca fights shy of any attention that distracts from his music. A deeply spiritual person, who just happens to express himself ...

Mayra Andrade: Storia Storia
by Chris May
Seemingly coming out of nowhere in 2007, singer Mayra Andrade single handedly rebooted the prevailing stereotype of Cape Verdean music with her debut album, Navega (Sterns). Sunny and gorgeously melodic, the disc provided a counterweight to the anguished oeuvre of Cesaria Evora, the “Barefoot Diva" who had been the international voice of Cape Verdean popular music ...
Roberto Fonseca: Akokan
by AAJ Italy Staff
Lo avevamo lasciato con Zamazu, due anni fa e con un album, il quarto, pieno di buono propositi e irruenze a metà strada tra la tradizione cubana (di cui ne faceva legittimamente parte essendo stato alla corte di Ibrahim Ferrer) e modi classicheggianti. Il disco, scrivevamo, era forte, per la carica e l'impeto complessivi, ma forse ...
Roberto Fonseca: Zamazu
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ci sarà pure una ragione che spieghi perché a 32 anni, Roberto Fonseca, possa dirsi già soddisfatto della sua carriera artistica. Tutti lo apprezzano, tutti lo vogliano affianco e il musicista cubano non disdegna di fare una puntatina di qua e di là. Lo trovi vicino a Augusto Enriquez, a soli 21 anni (chi lo vide ...
