Aldo and Ilmar Gavilan (The Brothers) to play at Basílica de San Francisco de Asís
Aldo López-Gavilán and Ilmar Gavilán (The Brothers) will perform their acclaimed album "Brothers" in its entirety during this unique concert celebrating the musical reunion of these Cuban virtuosos.
Recorded at Oktaven Studios in July 2019 in New York and winner of the Cubadisco 2020-2021 award in the Instrumental Music category, this album represents the culmination of a long-cherished dream for the brothers, who were separated for decades due to personal and geopolitical circumstances.
The album's eleven original compositions by Aldo, specially arranged for piano and violin, masterfully blend elements of classical music and Afro-Cuban jazz, reflecting the rich musical experiences of both artists.
This concert is not only an opportunity to enjoy the extraordinary talent of Aldo and Ilmar but also a moving testament to the power of music to transcend borders and reunite family. The story of the López-Gavilán brothers, documented in the film "Los Hermanos/The Brothers", has captivated audiences at international festivals, offering an intimate glimpse into their parallel lives in Havana and New York and celebrating their long-awaited musical collaboration.
