ALBUM: 'OTRA IDEA MÁS'

ARTIST: NILS FISCHER & TIMBAZO

FEATURING PAQUITO D'RIVERA, ISSAC DELGADO, ALEXANDER ABREU, EDWIN PERÉZ, KEISEL JIMÉNEZ

With its 2024 release, the band delivers beautiful, danceable salsa tracks with a healthy dose of timba and jazz. The never-before released songs are a testament to the composing, arranging and poetic talents of one of Cuba's unsung musical heroes, the late Antonio Perez Fonseca (Tony Perez). Together with the invited guests, Timbazo brings his creations to life with some of Europe's most soulful musicians.

For those who are familiar with Nils - his new album wouldn't be complete without a track where Afro Cuban jazz and percussion are happily celebrated: Paquito D'Rivera joins the band on Iván 'Melón' Lewis' masterpiece 'Arikúe'.
