The Cuban classical pianist Yamilé Cruz Montero and the Greek jazz drummer Christos Asonitis are a couple in life and also in music.

Although they come from two different musical worlds, they have found a common language as it appears on their first album “Rapsodia Cubana” released by Naxos World Music. It combines multiple references that draw associations between past and present, tradition and contemporaneity, classical universes and the worlds of popular music, all of which define the artistic vision that Yamilé Cruz Montero and Christos Asonitis created.

“Rapsodia Cubana” features pieces of composers such as José María Vitier (1954), Ernán López-Nussa (1958), Andrés Alén (1950) and Aldo López-Gavilán (1979).
