From that encounter was born a warm and unforgettable performance.\n\"When I started playing again, I promised myself I would only play from the heart,\" Maite confides. \"Not to worry about the right notes, but to stay true to my inspiration.\"\nRamón, too, made a promise to himself. Born in Cuba, classically trained but seduced by jazz, he forged his own path in Europe, developing a unique style, far from Latin clichés, to fully express his musical voice.\n\"I want every note to be sung, for my fingers to follow my inspiration – and not the other way around.\"\n\"Playing with Ramón always makes me happy,\" smiles Maite. \"Whether it's a concert or a rehearsal, we play like two children: open, free, curious. Every rehearsal is like a mini-concert, and every concert is different. Ramón often calls it *levitando*.\" A word that evokes living in the present moment, playing with a spontaneous and open heart.","brand":"Ramón Valle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55606374793560,"sku":null,"price":23919867.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0798747716314.jpg?v=1760467707","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/ramon-valle_havana-vinyle-lp-maite-hontele-ramon-valle_2025_uvm","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
