Enter the world of Laura Beatriz

Momentos Traditions say a lot about who we are. As metaphors into the mind, body and soul of our being, traditions are the rituals used to refine the various creative practices that shape our presence in the world. For many musicians this means honoring the cultural influences that inform their music. But for some, it’s far more intimate; it’s part of a bloodline, the essence of a family tree that has promoted musical excellence for generations.

Enter the world of Laura Beatriz, the Cuban pianist, composer, arranger and bandleader, a bright new voice seeking to make her mark with Momentos (Moments) an EP showcasing the vibrant pulse of her unique musical language. Emanating from a long Peruchín family history of talented musicians and educators, Beatriz knows first hand about the kind of dedication required to represent the most authentic traditions within Afro-Cuban music that she’s known all her life. Mi Canto, the powerful introduction to Momentos that neatly balances 6/8 and 4/4 time signatures commonly found in Afro-Latin Jazz. Here Beatriz imagined a sacred forest gathering where the philosophy of “canto” blossoms into the kind of powerful incantations found within Yoruba spiritual practices.
