Roberto Fonseca alone on a stage, the event is rare. New star of Cuban jazz, the pianist has always preferred collective adventures: alongside legends Ibrahim Ferrer and Omara Portuondo, with the Buena Vista Social Club or Fatoumata Diawara, in contact with Gilles Peterson or Mike Ladd. But since the release of Yo in 2012, the native of Havana seems metamorphosed. As if he assumed the famous word rimbaldien: “I is another”. From bolero to hip-hop, from the limpidity of Keith Jarrett to the electricity of Herbie Hancock, from African music to Brazilian rhythms, Roberto Fonseca combines opposites. In solo, the Cuban doesn’t explore the music of the world: he makes a world of his own intimate music. An intense and surprising moment.
