**“One of the greatest musicians in jazz” (NY Times), Havana-born piano genius Gonzalo
Rubalcaba returns with music from his new album, Viento y Tiempo, recorded in collaboration
with his childhood friend, Cuban vocalist Aymée Nuviola, an artist widely known 
as “La Sonera del Mundo” (singer of the world).**

The pianist has integrated huge swaths of the European classical and jazz traditions,
while maintaining bone-deep ties to the rhythmic currents of Cuba. After international
tours with the legendary Cuban ensemble Orquesta Aragón and fronting his own band
Grupo Proyecto, Rubalcaba quickly gained fame on the American scene through the 
efforts of famed bassist Charlie Haden, distinguishing himself with his bravura 
technique and a remarkable level rhythmic advancement. Since his auspicious beginnings,
he has risen to become one of the preeminent pianists of his generation, releasing
over 30 albums, winning two GRAMMYs and two Latin GRAMMYs.

Winner of the 2018 Latin GRAMMY winner for Best Tropical Fusion Album and 2020 GRAMMY
for Best Tropical Latin album, Nuviola began her professional career at age nine,
and went on to record with Cuban icons Irakere and NG La Banda, among others. She
embraced the dance-inspiring fusion called timba, and was a pioneer in the style,
releasing five albums before returning to her roots with A Journey Through Cuban
Music, featuring her old friend Rubalcaba.
