Roberto Fonseca proposes a new episode of Isla Sonora at Radio Gladys Palmera with a list of Afro songs with some of his best Cuban and African performers: Xiomara Alfaro and Salif Keita, Lázaro Ross and Nahawa Doumbia, Los Muñequitos de Matanzas and Angelique Kidjo, Bola de Nieve and Fatoumata Diawara. There are few programmes with as much black roots music as this one. Enjoy it!
With the shamanic charisma, good humor and contagious joy that characterize her, Fatoumata Diawara surrounds herself with exceptional artists and initiates unexpected encounters during this exclusive show specially created for France Télévisions. Yemi Alade, Arthur H, Roberto Fonseca, Amadou & Mariam and Barbara Pravi share the Hermitage stage with this great voice of Africa that crosses borders. Watch now Fatoumata’s performance of Sowa with her good friend Roberto Fonseca.
The song Madre Oshun, composed by the musician and artistic director of the Jazz Plaza Festival Roberto Fonseca, sets the rhythm for the great event that captures the spirit of musical convergence by summoning performers of the stature of Brenda Navarrete, Zule Guerra with the luxury insertions of maestros César López and instrumentalists Dayron Ortiz on electric guitar, bassist Yandy Martínez, Ruly Herrera and Adel González. The making of video is now available on Youtube.
With its free sets nestled in the heights of Chamonix, the Cosmo Jazz Festival is on the way to becoming one of the most beautiful in France. Organized by André Manoukian and Charles Vetter, this family-friendly summer program is complemented by a varied line-up of quality. After a memorable performance by bassist Kyle Eastwood in 2021, the event returns in 2022 with the brilliant Roberto Fonseca. Originally from Cuba, the pianist has compiled an interesting discography (we remember a beautiful session with Fatoumata Diawara in Marciac) where Afro-American, Latin, but also classical influences are merged.
This fascinating repertoire reveals the richness of the musical heritage of the great Caribbean island. Surrounded by Yandi Martinez on (double)bass and Ruly Herrera on drums, the native of Havana delivers his share of skillful pieces like “Lluvia” and “Aggua,” and shares his science of rhythm as induced by the heady “Mambo Pa La Niña” and its solar bursts of music. Captured on the Planpraz site, a belvedere facing Mont Blanc, this film is punctuated by breathtaking views. An obvious phenomenon when listening to “No Soy De Esos,” a celestial theme to say the least, and peak of this very singular concert… Wacth now!
He is a legend in Colombian salsa. A magical childhood, a grey adolescence and an adulthood of difficult and exciting moments have made Yuri Buenaventura a well-known artist in Paris and around the world, who has been making music with Manu Chao’s Mano Negra, rappers Orishas, El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico and Cheo Feliciano. “Historia de un amor” is his next step in a career full of successes and anecdotes of an artist out of the ordinary, with Roberto Fonseca as musical producer, together with Sebastien Vidal. Listen here.

As if it were the soundtrack to Gladys Palmera’s book, CHA-CHA-CHA, Roberto Fonseca delves into the origins and impact of this unique rhythm that marked the life of Cuba, “the sound island”. To do this, it turns to some of its greatest exponents such as its very creator, Enrique Jorrín, and the flagship group of cha-cha-chá of all time, the Orquesta Aragón. But a program of Cuban classics cannot leave out musical geniuses like Abelardo Barroso, Carlos Argentino with Sonora Matancera, Alberto Socarrás and the Lecuona Cuban Boys. An unforgettable episode.

“No matter how high the sky is in the world, no matter how deep the deep sea is, there won’t be a barrier in the world that my deep love won’t break for you”. This is not only a bolero, it is a declaration of love, it is the total surrender to the loved one. Roberto Fonseca expresses the poetry of those songs that have made generations fall in love, of those phrases that like this one are part of the collective memory, those that we have always said or wanted to say as verses, and that we have hummed as songs.
The list of performers that Roberto brings to this edition of La Isla Sonora is not just any old classic: Benny Moré alongside Pedro Vargas, a legendary encounter of which anecdotes are still told; José Antonio Méndez, brilliant poet of the Cuban filin; Guillermo Portabales, the creator of the guajira de salón; Barbarito Diez, the voice of danzón and elegance made song; Ibrahim Ferrer and Omara Portuondo, another duo that Roberto himself was able to accompany; Abelardo Barroso, godfather of son and cha cha chá; María Teresa Vera, the first diva and first lady of Cuban song; or Nat King Cole and his magnificent vision of the Latin romantic song.
