The Cuban cellist, singer and composer Ana Carla Maza, who feels equally at home with samba, bossa nova, tango, jazz and chanson, is conquering the concert stages of the world. As a girl still taking piano lessons, she soon discovered her great love - the cello. Maza's performances with her Latin jazz formation are a concentrated charge of joie de vivre, musical flights of fancy and a declaration of love to Caribbean-Latin American music.
