Aymée Nuviola concluded the live interview she gave this Monday to CiberCuba revealing details about her upcoming music projects and singing for the audience, in a final segment that had her followers applauding her song "Ponte Bonita," which premiered in February.
"I'm finishing two albums," confirmed the artist, known as "La Sonera del Mundo" and winner of two Grammys and two Latin Grammys, during the conversation led by journalist Tania Costa.
The first of those original albums has a tentative title related to the group "Más con Menos" —although Nuviola clarified that she is not yet sure of the final name—. As she mentioned, she is accompanied by Eduardo Ramos, a percussionist and director of this band, based in Mexico.
The second work is a live album recorded at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London, which the artist herself described as "the cathedral of jazz."
"We recorded an album at the jazz club Ronnie Scott's in London, England, and we are also working on it to release it because it's 'live.' It's live music recorded entirely there," he explained.
Nuviola attributes her foray into Latin jazz to her collaboration with the Cuban pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba, which took place about five or six years ago and opened doors for her in that international circuit.
At the same time, the singer revealed that the album «Caché», recorded in Puerto Rico with maestro Pete Perignon, is already produced and is the one they are submitting for the Latin Grammys in the salsa category. "It's a salsa album made in Puerto Rico with maestro Pete Perignon, and it's the one we are submitting for the Latin Grammys in the salsa category this time," she said.
Nuviola also spoke about her participation in the album "Renacimiento" by the Salvadoran producer Samuel Quiroz, in which she recorded two tracks: one of flamenco rumba alongside the gypsy artist known as Negri (Enrique Heredia), and another titled "Reencuentro," a rendition of the song by Álvaro Torres now available on all digital platforms.
Regarding that song, the artist was particularly emotional: "It's like an emotional journey through what all of us who migrate experience. But how many Cubans find themselves in situations where you go back to the neighborhood and so-and-so has died, another one has gone to Spain... And you start to live in an illusion because you're filled with memories of things that are no longer there."
Nuviola also announced a tour in Europe planned mainly for November, with dates in the Canary Islands—Fuerteventura and Tenerife—, Madrid, and Italy, in addition to commitments in Puerto Rico, including the patron saint festivals in Hatillo and a project with the program "Sesiones desde La Loma," hosted by Norberto Vélez.
At the end of the interview, and at the audience's request, Nuviola performed a live snippet of "Ponte Bonita," her own song dedicated to female empowerment.
"If they tell you that you have lost the beauty of youth, that's a lie. There is no one more beautiful than you... Be beautiful, be beautiful, and step out into the street with your head held high, darling."
The artist summarized her moment with a phrase that defines her work pace: "Always moving, always moving, tirelessly. Never stop. Working."
