August 29, 2020

I Told You So, the most recent album by renowned Cuban pianist and composer Harold López-Nussa, has been available since yesterday on virtual music platforms on the Internet.

According to what the outstanding jazz musician has made known to digital media, the phonogram was recorded basically in quartet format, in the studios of singer-songwriter Silvio Rodríguez, with his usual companions Mayquel González (trumpet), Julio César González (bass) and his brother Ruy Adrián López-Nussa (drums).

Harold will release the album in its entirety through Mack Avenue Records, after having already premiered some singles on the web, such as the acclaimed JazzTon, a collaboration with Randy Malcom, singer of the popular group Gente de Zona, which constitutes an innovative work within music for its unprecedented fusion of jazz and reggaeton.

The successful single was composed by six hands by the pianist, his brother and Malcom and was accompanied by a music video directed by Joseph Ros that had wide repercussion in the media and digital platforms.

For its promotion, a challenge was launched that invited other musicians to play the song and publish the recording, to which one of the first to join was the emblematic Cuban pianist Chucho Valdés and another in which he invited his followers to dance the JazzTon.

The talented instrumentalist also shared with Internet users his version of El buey cansao, one of the most popular songs by Juan Formell and Los Van Van, for which he was accompanied by the phenomenon Cimafunk, and whose audiovisual was directed by Raúl Valdés "Raupa", Nelson Ponce and Edel Rodríguez.

I Told You So, a mixture of rhythms such as songo, mozambique and the controversial reggaeton with jazz, marked by Harold López-Nussa's personal seal, features other guests such as singer-songwriter Kelvis Ochoa in Jocosa guajira and French accordionist and singer Vincent Peirani in Windmills of Your Mind, by Michel Legrand.

Completing the list of 11 songs are Habana sin sábanas, Lila's mambo, Timbeando, Un día de noviembre (by Leo Brouwer), Sobre el atelier, Te lo dije, which gives title to the record project and Van Van se encuentra con Nueva Orleans, in which he pays homage again to Formell's emblematic orchestra.

Harold López-Nussa is one of the most outstanding Cuban pianists of his generation, also outstanding as a composer in the jazz genre, in which he has managed to earn a reputation within and outside the country thanks to his remarkable talent.

He comes from one of the most significant families of musicians in Cuba and together with his father Ruy (drums), his uncle Ernán (piano) and his brother Ruy Adrián (drums), he makes up the project La familia, with which they have performed on important stages around the world.
