Ana Carla Maza

Cuban cellist and singer Ana Carla Maza returns to Paris for several dates, offering the L'Olympia audience a musical journey between Havana and Latin sounds. A unique opportunity to discover her world tinged with jazz and world music.

Ana Carla Maza, a cellist and singer of Cuban origin, has forged a unique path, blending the musical heritage of her native island with influences from jazz and world music. Born in Havana into a family of artists – her father is pianist Carlos Maza and her mother is guitarist Mirza Sierra – she was immersed from a young age in an environment conducive to the blossoming of her talent. It was at the age of 8 that she began playing the cello, an instrument she has mastered to make it an extension of her voice and soul. Her journey has taken her from Cuba to Paris, where she has refined her style, developing an approach to her instrument that is both virtuosic and deeply expressive.

Her work is characterised by a delicate and audacious fusion. It features the swaying rhythms of Cuban son, the melancholy of fado, the harmonic richness of jazz, and the energy of Brazilian music. Albums like « La Flor  » or « Bahia  » perfectly illustrate this ability to create bridges between musical cultures, while maintaining a strong and recognisable identity. Ana Carla Maza has distinguished herself by her ability to sing in Spanish, Portuguese, and French, adding a multilingual dimension to her artistic expression. Her compositions, often imbued with intimate poetry, explore universal themes such as love, travel, and the quest for identity.

On stage, Ana Carla Maza is renowned for her captivating presence and communicative energy. Alone with her cello, or accompanied by musicians, she weaves a warm and immersive atmosphere, inviting the audience into a true musical dialogue. Her concerts are an opportunity to discover the richness of her repertoire, alternating between lively pieces and more introspective ballads. The virtuosity of her cello playing, combined with the clarity and warmth of her voice, creates a live experience that is both powerful and moving. Her performance at L'Olympia, a legendary venue in the capital, represents an important step in her career, allowing her to present her world to a Parisian audience always eager for musical discoveries.

This concert at L'Olympia promises to be a celebration of musical diversity and artistic authenticity.
