David Broza is one of the most innovative and creative musicians in the world today. His 40+ year career spans from blues to jazz, rock, country, folk and world music. Singing in Hebrew, Spanish, English, and Arabic, David brings the full spectrum of his work to this special summer of 2018 project, with a unique interpretation of his rich repertoire of hits with the NY based Cuban “Trio Havana” led by flute virtuoso Itai Kris.


He will be joined by:


Itai Kriss, a recording artist praised by Jazzwax as “one of the most exciting new flutist-composers” on the scene, commands a variety of musical genres with an eclectic style infused with Jazz, Latin and Middle Eastern sounds. According to Downbeat Magazine, there is a “tangy, exotic flavor” to the New York musician’s style, which can be heard on his latest album, The Shark. The album features Kriss’“soaring technique and phrasing that is both aggressive and pastoral,” which displays the versatility of his command of the flute, shifting through genres from funk and reggae to salsa and Arabic stylings with fluid ease. Having spent the past 15 years working at the forefront of New York City’s Jazz scene while performing, recording and touring with some of the world’s top afro-cuban, Latin and Salsa artists, flute virtuoso Itai Kriss now fuses the sounds of his native Israel with those of his adopted homelands in the Americas with his band TELAVANA.


Manuel Alejandro Carro, a.k.a. "MannyA”, (born Camagüey, Cuba 1980) is a New York based Cuban artist of many talents: a singer songwriter and a master percussionist who is at home in many musical genres. From Ballads to Latin songs, which he fuses into Urban Music, aficionados are coalescing around his exceptional lyrics and tunes. In 2017 he was awarded third place in the Latin Music Category in the International Songwriting Competition (ISC), a prestigious honor he received for his single “Que Siga La Gozadera”. For his collaboration with Andy González as a singer, lyricist, and percussionist on the album “Entre colegas”, he was nominated for a Grammy. With his two newest releases, “Tu Corazoncito”, and "Que Siga La Gozadera”, he is fast becoming a rising star of Urban Latino. You can see it and experience it in the groundbreaking videos (“Tu Corazoncoito”, “Que Siga La Gozadera”, and "El Pintor,"), which have already received hundreds of thousands of views. These songs are several that will be released on his upcoming EP. The EP follows his debut album, "Ser Grande Por Dentro," which created an awakening in the Latin pop world and which established Manuel as a powerful presence. “Ser Grande Por Dentro”, is a series of reflections, or “inspiraciones”, on universal themes of love, artistic passion, and the search for higher meaning.
