Multi-instrumentalist, singer, composer, producer and art son – his father, Roberto Senior is a drummer and his mother is a singer and former dancer of the Tropicana Club -, Roberto Fonseca, already nominated for the Grammy Awards, fishing hands-full in the Afro-Cuban tradition. Debuting as a pianist of Buena Vista Social Club, experience that will lead him to create a lasting partnership with Omara Portuondo, and boasts collaborations with Ibrahim Ferrer, Fatoumata Diawara and Gilles Peterson. A cultured and creative artist, with a great jazz sensibility and a precious cultural background rooted in the Afro-Cuban tradition.
His latest album YESUN (Wagram / Audioglobe) has just been released: 12 original compositions, numerous guests including the saxophonist, winner of a Grammy Award, Joe Lovano and the famous Franco-Lebanese trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf.
A record suspended between tradition and modernity, where Cuban rhythms intertwine beats, retro keyboards and vocal acrobatics.

“Yesun is the record I’ve always aspired to. All my influences are here, all the sounds and vibrations that belong to me and define me“.

Roberto Fonseca will be accompanied by drummer Raul Herrera and bassist Yandy Mantinez-Rodriguez.
