Concert Festival "Africa-America". Salsamania. Maraca & latinjazzband (Cube)
Moscow International Musical Arts Center. Grand Hall


Schedule for Festival "Africa-America". Salsamania. Maraca & latinjazzband (Cube) 2022

Cuba’s Premier flutist and fine composer MARACA has been described as "The most influential Afro-Cuban band of the emerging century" (HOWARD REICH – THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, USA), meanwhile Cuba’s national newspapers claim him to be "An essential personality in the actual panorama of Cuban music" (OMAR VAZQUEZ – GRANMA).


Considered as "one the hottest names in Afro-Cuban music" by The Los Angeles Times, Orlando "MARACA" Valle is highly appreciated for his spontaneously celebratory, rhythmically complex, lyrically clever, instrumentally thrilling music; his brilliant fusions embrace from Latin jazz to the most danceable tropical rhythms, and his spectacular live performances as well as his multi-awarded recordings has made him famous all over the world. His nomination as "Best salsa Album" at the US Grammy’s Awards in 2003 made him the youngest Cuban artist ever nominated by the US National Recording Academy.

Maraca is a child prodigy born to a musical family, who started his musical career at the age of 16 as flute player in the world famous Irakere, led by Chucho Valdez, where he departed at the ripe age of 24 to embark on his own career. One of his first tasks as a solo artist was writing and arranging several hit songs on the first Cubanismo album, which in turn led him to create his own group in 1996, Maraca & Otra Vision. Throughout the years he has produced many projects, one of which was nominated for a Grammy and toured all over the owrld sharing the stage with musical luminaries such as Oscar De Leon, Jose Alberto "El Canario", Cesaria Evora and many more. Maraca & Otra Vision have performed in the most prestigious festival and venues around the world, and are currently embarking on another world wide tour.
