Ana Carla Maza Quartet
Sale Apollinee
At 5, Ana Carla began to play the piano, taught by Miriam Valdés, sister of pianist Chucho Valdés. Miriam Valdés died of Covid-19 in October this year and Ana Carla has dedicated the closing track on Bahía to her: “when I was recording I imagined her in front of me, sitting at the piano in her Cuban chair. It is said that to be an artist you have to know how to express pain and that singing is a relief but for me it’s also a way of capturing moments of love”.
