Marialy Pacheco, the most famous performer from Cuba, and her band will perform in Vilnius!!!
This musical miracle happened in Lithuania! And it seemed that it would never happen again because this project was too much in demand all over the world! But sometimes dreams become reality!!!
The amazing (the only jazz superstar in the world, originally from Cuba) pianist Marialy Pacheco and her cool band will perform in Vilnius on Saturday, October 19, at 6 pm.,
Marialy Pacheco was born in the Cuban capital Havana. She became interested in music at the age of seven and began her studies at the famous Havana Conservatory. Supported by her parents (her mother is a choir leader and her father an opera singer), she later graduated with honours in piano from the Escuela Nacional de Artes and continued her studies in composition, winning two gold medals at the World Choir Games!
With successful concert tours around the world, with her first album in 2005, "Bendiciones" ("Blessings"), Marialy is becoming a world class musician! She travels, composes, records, lives in Australia and Japan and in 2012 she participated in the solo piano competition of the legendary Montreux Jazz Festival. She is the first woman in the history of the competition to win a special jury prize and the Audience Award.
Musicians who have had the honour of collaborating with Marialy Pacheco include Rani Kriya, percussionist for Sting and Dominic Miller, the renowned Israeli bassist Avishai Cohen, the American timbalero Carlo Perazzo of Santana, and many others!
The pinnacle of musical inspiration and amazing collaboration is the latest album "Reload", which has already been released in Lithuania!
As Pacheco herself says: "the meaning of "reboot" is like a discovery and rebirth, sanctifying every artistic embodiment of her artistic personality with a fresh, shining light. According to the musician, every note she plays has a meaning, behind every melodic movement and harmony there are ideas and experiences that inspire her.
Marialy currently lives with her mother in Bremen, Germany (she says she has always felt that she would have to leave her small Caribbean island in order to share her music with the big world outside).
Marialy Pacheco's Reload is her twelfth album, and she considers it to be her most exciting and most mature creative endeavour to date. In addition to two Cuban musical standards, it contains only her most sensual work!
"I wanted to expand my musical palette!" - she explains the concept of the album itself. "This is where my Cuban roots expand towards the origins of Latin American traditions and classical music."
Her music is authentic, traditional and contemporary at the same time, with a strong contribution from Miguel Altamaru de la Torre, a young and talented percussionist from Colombia, who we will see also in Lithuania! "Reload is a combination of different musical identities, emotional treasures and many life experiences, and one of the most impressive and influential musical albums of our time!
