Entirely produced by Ana, Caribe will be her third album proper and is a continuation of her love letter to Latin American music taking influences from cumbia, son, bossa, samba, tango, rumba and salsa.

“In Latin music, women sing, and men do everything else. I decided to approach this new record without a music producer. I arrived in the studio with all the scores, written for a sextet, instrument by instrument. I have a classical background, I can play Brahms or Shostakovich, whose music is complicated. So why not take on a new challenge: entirely produce a Latin album that reflects my feminine sensitivity, my desire for positive celebration of the here and now, of ‘Alegria’, spontaneous joy.”

Authentic and touching, the second album “La Flor” in acoustic solo by cellist and Cuban singer Ana Carla Maza invites us on an imaginary travel to Latin America where she revisits the traditional music of her childhood as well as her own compositions. From Brazilian bossa nova to Cuban habanera through an enlarged musical prism. Latin rhythms, pop melodies, jazz harmonies and classical techniques come together to create a world of explosive maturity shaped by a sweet voice, percussive pizzicati and an airy bow.

Bahia is Ana Carla Maza’s second studio album. It opens with Habana, a tribute to the Cuban capital, where she was born 26 years ago, to a Chilean father, lush musician, Carlos Maza, and a Cuban mother, guitarist, Mirza Sierra. “Cuba is a volcano,” said the father. “Havana is madness,” replies the girl. Of course, Havana is the Malecón, this boulevard on the Atlantic coast, which receives the spray from the Everglades. However, the city coils around a bay, very closed, protected, safe: Bahia, the rear part of a human, port, cosmopolitan Habana Vieja, crossed by mixtures that have spread from Africa to Brazil.
