Description
With Alamar, Cuban chellist, composer, and singer Ana Carla Maza presents a profoundly personal and luminous musical work, in which memory, love and cultural transmission are transformed into a contemporary, universal language. The album takes its name from the seaside neighbourhood of Havana, Cuba, where Maza was born.
Written and composed by the Maza, Alamar unfolds through a singular dialogue between voice and cello, blending musical traditions from the Americas with a refined, modern sensibility. The album tells a coherent story - an artistic journey shaped by roots, departure, healing and joy. Sung in Spanish, French, Portuguese and English, Alamar reflects the international path of a world-class independent artist capable of transforming intimate history into a shared emotional experience.
Born in Cuba, and trained between Spain and Europe, Ana Carla Maza has developed a distinctive artistic world in which the musical traditions of the Americas, Cuban jazz, son, bolero, cha-cha-cha, bachata, and merengue meet an elegant, contemporary musical voice. Daughter of composer and guitarist Carlos Maza (Newen Tahiel), she grew up in a bilingual musical environment rooted in Chilean and Cuban heritage. 'Alamar is her most personal album to date: nine original compositions recorded at Studios Lautaro - a family studio built by her father.
