Cuban pianist Harold López-Nussa has released “Gitanerías,” his interpretation of Ernesto Lecuona’s piece and the latest single from his Blue Note Records album Nueva Timba, due September 5.
The track appears as a duo, with López-Nussa on piano and his brother, drummer Ruy Adrian López-Nussa, on flamenco cajón.
The arrangement pairs driving percussion with Lecuona’s melodic lines, yielding a concise, dance-leaning reading.
Across Nueva Timba, López-Nussa combines Cuban traditions with contemporary forms.
