ALAMAR is the new album by Ana Carla Maza.

A deeply personal and luminous work, ALAMAR transforms memory, love and cultural transmission into a contemporary and universal musical language. Through a unique dialogue between voice and cello, the album unfolds as a coherent artistic journey — one shaped by roots, departure, healing and joy.

Sung in Spanish, French, Portuguese and English, ALAMAR reflects Ana Carla Maza’s international path and affirms her position as a global independent artist. More than a collection of songs, the album is conceived as an œuvre — a statement of artistic freedom, authorship and emotional honesty.

Spanning nine tracks, the album explores genres such as bolero, son, salsa, reggae, and bachata, with jazz and an elegant and contemporary sensibility. Recorded during live performances and featuring collaborations such as that with her mother, guitarist Mirza Sierra, it reveals an intimate and intergenerational dimension.

With over 430 concerts in 25 countries, a background at the Paris Conservatory, and performances on some of Europe’s most prestigious stages, Ana Carla Maza is currently touring Europe and the United Kingdom with her ALAMAR 2026 tour. The tour includes cities such as Amsterdam, Paris, London, and Rome, and will culminate with her performance at the iconic L’Olympia in Paris.

Ana Carla Maza:

Ana Carla Maza is a Cuban cellist, singer and composer whose music moves freely between cultures, languages and traditions. Born in Havana and shaped by a life between the Americas and Europe, she has developed a singular artistic voice where classical training, popular rhythms and contemporary songwriting coexist naturally.

Trained as a classical cellist in Paris, Ana Carla Maza transforms the cello into a narrative instrument at the heart of her music, alongside a strong, expressive voice. Her compositions draw from the musical heritage of the Americas — from Cuban and Latin traditions to jazz and folk influences — while remaining deeply personal and unmistakably modern.

After hundreds of concerts across Europe, the Americas and beyond, Ana Carla Maza has established herself as a powerful live performer and an independent artist with a clear artistic vision. Her work is driven by authorship, freedom and transmission, turning personal history into music that resonates across borders and generations.

Raised in the musical neighborhood of Guanabacoa, Havana, she began studying piano at age 5 and cello at 8. Her father is Chilean pianist Carlos Maza and her mother is Cuban guitarist Mirza Sierra.

Since there are so many recordings by Ms. Maza, I recommend checking them out.
