Global
Cuba Fest 2017 March 18th Program Lineup
Érnan López Nussa (Cuba)
This
renowned Cuban pianist has built an international reputation thanks to his
capacity to integrate rhythm, lyricism, and fusion in a singular and authentic
manner. This talented composer, arranger
and performer creates music characterized by impressive formal richness and
amazing versatility. Ernán studied
classical piano at the prestigious Instituto de Artes de Cuba and developed his
musical style in the 1980s while working with the Afrocuba, which has become an
iconic institution of Cuban music. Throughout his career as a soloist,
López-Nussa has traveled and performed at such famed venues as Ronnie Scott's
in London and New Morning in Paris, as well as touring through Chicago, Los
Ángeles, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, Madrid, Rome, and many
other cities around the world. This pianist has been awarded the Grand Prize at
the International Cubadisco Fair multiple times, for his album “From Havana to
Río” released in 2000, “Veinte pianos” released in 2011, and “Sacrilegio” released
in 2014. His body of work contains over 15 solo recordings.

Picadillo (Madrid,
Spain)
Picadillo
is a band that represents the “latin alternative” musical movement and was created in Madrid in
2010 by musicians hailing from Cuba and the United States. Their musical style mixes traditional Cuban
sounds such as guaracha and son, fusioned with jazz, blues, rock and rhythmic
elements of New Orleans bluegrass music. With a flavor that is simultaneously
vintage and fresh, Picadillo has performed in diverse venues in Italy, Spain, the
United States, Canada, and Cuba. Their first recording, “Las Cosas de la Vida” contains
ten original compositions that earned them international recognition in the
global musical industry through the Warner Chapell Music label. Currently, Picadillo is in the final stages
of recording their second album “El Manicomio” (“The Insane Asylum”)
incorporating the use of traditional instruments such as the tres (a small
three-stringed guitar), the marimbula (a percussive instrument), and the órgano
oriental (eastern organ).

Wendy Guerra
(Cuba)
Wendy
Guerra (Havana, 1970) is a Cuban poet and novelist. Guerra has contributed to
different magazines and newspapers, including the Spanish daily El Mundo (where
she maintained the blog Habaname for five years) and The Miami Herald, where
she currently writes about arts and literature. Guerra's first collection ‘Platea
a oscuras’ won her a prize from the University of Havana when she was barely 17
years old. She earned a degree in Filmmaking from Havana’s Instituto Superior
de Arte, where Gabriel García Márquez was her screenwriting professor. Guerra’s
first novel, ‘Everyone's Leaving’ (2006), was largely based on her own diaries
and followed the young protagonist’s childhood and adolescence in Cuba. NPR's
Alan Cheuse said of Guerra in ‘Everyone’s Leaving’: “she describes with a
freshness and intensity I haven't read before.” The novel was adapted into a
film by the Colombian director Sergio Cabrera in 2014. Upon her return to Cuba
from Spain in 2006, where she had gone to receive the Bruguera Prize, she was
asked to step down from hosting her own television show and, although her novels
have been translated into several languages, only one of them has been
published in Cuba. Guerra has been a guest lecturer at Princeton University and
Dartmouth College. In 2010 she was proclaimed Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et
des Lettres in France and in 2016 she was promoted to the rank of Officer. She
has always lived in Havana.
