Yesun Roberto Fonseca

Roberto Fonseca is a Cuban pianist, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer and bandleader. Havana-born and based, he has released nine solo albums, collaborated across genres, been nominated for a GRAMMY® Award and toured the world several times over. Along the way he has achieved the aim with which he began his professional career in the early 1990s: “Wherever people are, I want them to hear my music and say, ‘This is Roberto Fonseca.’” An artist of prowess and ideas, with a questing jazz sensibility and deep roots in the Afro-Cuban tradition, Fonseca continues to astound. “The most exciting pianist in Cuba,” raves The Guardian, while France’s Le Figaro notes that Fonseca “Does something new with the old, without ever denying its origins, and opens himself to the world.” The New York Times adds that Fonseca “Makes all possibilities seem possible, and the moment feel perfect, intensely true.”
