One of the Romanza Festivale’s Headliners, Romanza Cabana features Cuban soprano Raquel Rubi. The performance is on Wednesday, May 10, 2023 from 7:30pm-9:00pm at The Waterworks.
Romanza Cubana is a journey through the most relevant genres of Cuban Music … from the Cuban Lyric Song, passing through the Zarzuela Romanzas and ending with the most popular songs of the “Trova Traditional Cuban” and fusions of the new generation of composers.
The program includes songs by Lecuona, Rodrigo Prats and Sindo Garay, among others. And it invites us to enjoy the sensual melodies and Cuban rhythms from yesterday which will last forever.
Raquel, a native of Havana, completed studies in piano and composition with composer Harold Gramatges at Havana’s Instituto Superior de Arte and studied voice with soprano, Maria Eugenia Barrios. She’ll lead the concert with the participation of the Venezuelan concert pianist, Adolfo Vidal and the Puerto Rican percussionist, Tito Ortiz.
