On the musical map, little Cuba is above all one thing: the home of the Buena Vista Social Club. To reduce a pianist like Roberto Fonseca to that would be fatal. But it is true: as the successor to the legendary Rubén Gonzáles, he has earned his spurs as pianist of the »Club« with over 400 concerts worldwide. Since then, Fonseca has worked for many stars of Cuban music such as Omara Portuondo or Ibrahim Ferrer as an arranger, producer and musician. Meanwhile, as a jazz pianist, Fonseca has become a brand of the Cuban music scene. He embodies Cuba on a new musical level, looking for new sounds and connections to other musical styles. And who better to find it than Fonseca, who has learned the »Son Cubano« from the greats and now takes the next step. Fonseca is cosmopolitan, technically precise and has a sure sense for melodies and rhythm.
