MAGELA HERRERA

Magela Herrera grew up between two worlds: one, her family’s deep ties to a large set of unique traditions influenced mostly by Afrocuban music; the other, the years she spent learning and studying classical music at the Conservatory of Music in her native Havana.

Praised often for her unique background that also includes Latin jazz and Euro jazz, Herrera developed her incredible instincts and keen musical chops from 2004 through 2011 as a member of Mezcla – one of Cuba’s leading jazz and fusion groups. Towards the end of her tenure in 2010, she was nominated for Best Solo Flute from the New York based magazine, Jazz Corner, for the tune “Quien tiene el ritmo” (who’s got the rhythm) on Mezcla’s album I’ll See You in Cuba. The recording was also nominated for Best Album.

Her own quintet recently released the long-awaited 2019 debut album Explicaciones, through Brontosaurus records. Featuring word class musicians such as pianist Tal Cohen, guitarist Greg Diamond, drummer David Chiverton, and bass players Nestor del Prado, and Dion K Kerr. Explicaciones has received rave press and fan reviews, and has quickly garnered support and airtime from major and local radio stations in the USA.
