Yo

Recognized as a major influence on modern Cuban jazz, and jazz in general, on his new album Roberto Fonseca proves that his horizons are not limited by the subtleties of jazz, nor to just the Caribbean. These new compositions revisit themes such as love and spirituality that have already nourished his work, although this time Fonseca draws from a rich musical palette full of contrasts. In place of his usual jazz quintet, on Yo he develops a a union between electro, analogue and African, Hammond organs, n'goni, congas, kora and the talking drum, combined together in a synthesis of Afro Cuban groove and Griot tradition.
