La flor

Description

At 24 years old, Ana Carla Maza has already given hundreds of concerts and put her cello at the service of the most diverse ensembles and styles, from classical to jazz to pop. Today, the young Cuban returns to simplicity and presents us with "La Flor," in search of absolute truth and intimacy, she shows herself here without artifice or embellishment.
Authentic and touching, "La Flor," her second solo acoustic album, invites us on an imaginary journey through Latin America where she revisits the traditional music of her childhood as well as her own compositions. "I have returned to the cello and the voice, which constitute my prayer of relief, my prayer of life," she tells us.
From Brazilian bossa nova to Cuban habanera through an expanded musical prism. Latin rhythms, pop melodies, jazz harmonies, and classical techniques come together to create a universe of striking maturity shaped by a smooth voice, percussive pizzicati, and an airy bow.
Today, at twenty-four, Ana Carla is performing at the biggest jazz festivals. Her voice and playing, where fervor, languor, and grace intertwine, captivate, beautifully marrying her Latin roots and her unconfined approach to music.
