YESUN

Description

"Yesun is the album I've always wanted to make," says Roberto Fonseca about this album, where a host of styles meet, from jazz to classical music, rap, funk, reggaeton, and electro, thus charting a unique, improvised path, free from rules. "All my influences are gathered here. All the sounds, the atmospheres that make me who I am today." It's an album of 13 original tracks performed by a trio, with Roberto backed by his musician friends, drummer Raúl Herrera and his longtime double bassist Yandy Martinez Rodriguez. Also featured are saxophonist Joe Lovano, the celebrated Franco-Lebanese trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf, Cuban singer/rapper Danay Suarez, and the illustrious Cuban bolero diva Mercedes Cortés. YESUN perfectly bears the Fonseca signature. This precision in form, rhythm, and melodies. This richness of ideas. An album created by a Cuban virtuoso, determined to make music his own way and to modernize Cuban music in the process.
