08 Sep Miami Musicians Releasing New Music
Today we recommend talented local musicians who continue to create new albums, to connect with the audience in times of the Coronavirus quarantine.
YAINER HORTA
Yainer Horta, versatile saxophonist, multi-instrumentalist, producer and composer from Cuba. He finished his studies at the prestigious Berklee College of Music university in the US After a while, he decided to settle in the city of Miami with the aim of being part of the great cultural variety of musical genres and trends that said city offers.Yanier has just launched his new work “ESTACIONES”, now available on all digital platforms.
“ESTACIONES” is my most recent album, which consists of 5 original compositions inspired by the 4 seasons of the year, plus the title itself. This project carries a very clear
message of hope, inspiration and invocation to the creativity of the human being, musicians, artists, creators that we all have in our DNA but we don’t always let fly.
Today 2020, the year where we have had to grow and adopt a new way of seeing and doing things, prompted me to maximum creativity, the desire to take risks and make this new record work, capturing everything in a unique and individual way and everything you hear and see. The attitude is not to monopolize the spaces, but to encourage everyone
not to put the NO in the foreground and in this way provoke the YES. A honest and unique album can be achieved despite our reality and by which we are all subjected.
In this particular year ESTACIONES is not only music, but an attitude towards life !!!My whole discography is now available on all digital platforms and you can enjoy
all my videos on my YouTube channel. Thanks you immensely for giving me the opportunity to present my work and take it into consideration.
Best Regards: Yainer Horta.
