She is also no stranger to Bremen: In 2016, she performed a highly acclaimed showcase concert at jazzahead! as part of the “Overseas Night” for Colombia. She has toured with her Colombian band several times all around the world. Her album “Déjame Asi” with singer Oscar D’Léon (“The Pharaoh of Salsa”) was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award, as was her 2019 album “Cuba Linda”.
“I am very happy and honored with the invitation to play at jazzahead!’s gala!“
