From the Cuban-born pianist Harold López-Nussa, jazz encounters multiple eras of Cuba’s musical history, yielding results that are accessible, life-affirming, and breathtakingly virtuosic. There is salsa, rumba, and then there is timba—a danceable wave with strong ties to funk and rhythm and blues, which in Harold López-Nussa’s case blends perfectly with jazz. This multi-talented pianist is classically trained and has received prestigious awards from a young age, becoming a key figure in Cuban jazz. The year 2022 marked a turning point in his career: he settled in Toulouse, signed with Blue Note, and recorded an album produced by Michael League (Snarky Puppy). A definitive vision for the future of Latin American jazz.
