Yilian Cañizares «Resilience Trio» feat. Childo Tomas & Inor Sotolongo

Piano legend Chuco Valdez on Yilian Cañizares: «Yilian is an incredible talent of the new generation of Cuban musicians. She is also a virtuoso, expressive, spontaneous and with a charm that captures everyone.» She studied classical violin in her homeland of Cuba and later in Venezuela, then came to Switzerland at the turn of the century in order to focus on jazz and her voice. From these elements she has created her very own sound universe between tradition and modern, lyrics and Afro-Cuban rhythms. Appearances with Ibrahim Maalouf, Omar Sosa, Youn Sun Nah, Richard Bona, Chucho Valdés, Roberto Fonseca, Dhafer Youssef and El Comité underline her status as a fascinating, contemporary violinist, songstress and composer.
