June 25, 2021

The World's Sonera and Grammy and Latin Grammy winner Aymée Nuviola premiered the video of the classic "Bemba Colora", a song included in her Album "Viento y Tiempo Live at Blue Note Tokyo" with which she celebrates her third Grammy® Nomination, this time in the Best Latin Jazz Album category alongside the award-winning pianist and childhood friend, Gonzalo Rubalcaba.

This video was recorded in Tokyo in 2019, in which they take a tour of the great moments experienced by Aymée and Gonzalo during the live recording from the renowned "Blue Note Tokyo".

Recently, the Cuban has been highlighted for her career on different magazine covers in the United States during "Black History Month". In the launch of the first Hola Tu Revista magazine Miami edition, Aymée was recognized on its cover and six interior pages. For its part, El Especialito de New York also recognized her as one of the most representative Afro-Latin interpreters of music.

The publications Siempre Mujer and Beating Magazine also recognized the trajectory of the singer-songwriter and her third Grammy® nomination. "Viento y Tiempo – Live at Blue Note Tokyo" includes classics of Cuban music such as "El Manisero", "Bemba Colorá" and "Lágrimas Negras". This recording was made entirely live, for six nights and with full capacity at the prestigious Blue Note in Tokyo in August 2019.

The EP was launched by Top Stop Music and produced by Gonzalo Rubalcaba and Gregory Elias and is at the same time the fulfillment of a dream between those who have received high recognition for their individual works and came together for the live recording during six nights with full capacity at the prestigious Blue Note in Tokyo last August 2019.

Rubalcaba is a virtuoso musician considered one of the leading figures in Afro-Cuban jazz and one of the best pianists of the 20th century. He has received worldwide recognition from media such as Wall Street Journal, NPR, Downbeat, Chicago Tribune and others. Gonzalo has been nominated for 16 Grammy® and Latin Grammy® awards and has won two of each.

Nuviola for her part has been nicknamed "The World's Sonera", has mixed timba, jazz, son and salsa, thus winning the Grammy® award for best tropical music album in 2020 for her most recent release "A Journey Through Cuban Music" and in 2018 won the Latin Grammy® for best tropical fusion album, for her album "Como Anillo Al Dedo".

A winning formula of two stars that is noticed from the first listen. Aymée Nuviola and Gonzalo Rubalcaba embody the best that Cuba can musically offer and that greatness has been recognized in all major international circuits with this work.

The music of both is generated as an island without borders, open to the world, friendly, optimistic, intelligent and willing to share their most personal and intimate truths. Aymée's music is a fusion between genres such as Jazz, Son, Guaguancó, Guaracha and Charanga, all these adorned with urban electronic colors. Aymée also ventures into genres such as bolero, Bossa nova and romantic song. However, it was with fierce salsa and timba (a genre in which she is one of its founders) that she became known internationally.

Aymée has participated in Jazz festivals such as the North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam and has performed practically on all five continents, from her native island Cuba, to Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Argentina, Uruguay, Panama, Brazil, Spain, Italy, France, Holland, Hungary and in several places in the United States, including the emblematic Madison Square Garden, The Dolby Theatre in Hollywood and the Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami among others.

Aymée has been cooperating for free for more than 12 years with the League Against Cancer in the city of Miami, she also does so with the organization Walk Now for Autism Speaks and with several organizations helping Colombia, Venezuela and Puerto Rico, for the latter she was part of the collection and distribution of a private plane provided by Gregory Elías and Top Stop Music, sent with more than three tons of food for those affected by Hurricane María on the island.

In this same sense she wrote and then recorded with singer Rey Ruíz the song "Pa'lante Puerto Rico", in which she donated all authorship and distribution rights to raise funds for those affected by said hurricane.

Aymée Nuviola presented in Mexico alongside Gonzalo Rubalcaba with great pride her new album "Viento y Tiempo – Live at Blue Note Tokyo", whose single "Bemba Colora" became a global trend again and is available on digital music platforms, radio and TV in Mexico, which aims to position this great artist even further who is literally taking over the world by storm, thanks to her musical and human quality and her extraordinary contributions that are enriching the music of this generation and whose efforts allow us to see her consecration much closer.
