Yilian Cañizares is one of the most intriguing contemporary violinists, singers, and composers today—skillfully blending jazz, classical, and Afro-Cuban rhythms with her otherworldly voice. As famed Cuban bandleader Chucho Valdez proclaims, Cañizares "is one of the most incredible talents of the new generation of Cuban musicians. She is a virtuoso, she is expressive, spontaneous, and with a grace that makes her the favorite of all of us."
