Luis Alberto Barbería is preceded by his membership in the band Habana Abierta, his experiences living and working in Spain for 20 years, his musical experience as a guitarist, composer, arranger, and music producer and above all the conviction that the most important thing is not fame. The resonance of his voice and guitar work is based on Afro-Cuban rhythms in a very unusual way. His melodies are lyrical with great jazz influences. His poetry, colloquially uninhibited due to its exquisite Cubanness. He has also worked with Ketama on several of his recordings and tours.
For Pavel Urkiza music in general and the Spanish guitar in particular, came in his DNA as an inheritance of his paternal grandfather who was a well-known composer and singer in his time. Pavel began to play the guitar and to compose in his adolescence, especially in youth and university groups until, in 1990, the duo "Gema y Pavel" was formed that changed his musical life forever. He has composed music for theater and cinema, standing out in the composition of the soundtrack of the Hispano-Cuban production "Las Noches de Constantinopla", directed by Orlando Rojas. Internationally recognized, he is an artist of prolific creativity and deep connection with the world's musical cultures.
