Ana Carla Maza is the new voice of Cuba – an emblem of the excellence and innovation of the emerging Cuban generation. With her unique blend of cello virtuosity, soulful vocals, and magnetic stage presence, she has become one of the most prominent Cuban singer-composers on the international scene. Her acclaimed debut album, La flor (2020), was followed by the breakout success of Bahía, which led to a tour of over 150 concerts.
