The talented Cuban singer-songwriter and violinist, Yeisy Rojas, is pleased to present her first album, “A Mis Ancestros“, a dedication and tribute to all the African influence that came to Cuba. This project is the result of several years of hard work and dedication since Yeisy moved to Norway in 2016 to study jazz and popular music at Kristiansand University.
Nostalgia for Cuban rhythms in a foreign country inspired Yeisy to research the music and the history of the influence of African slaves on Cuban music. From there, she wrote her master’s thesis and the album “A Mis Ancestros” was born, which has the collaboration of musicians with renowned careers such as Gaston Joya and Rodney Barreto, who have had the privilege of joining the legendary Chucho Valdés’s band.
The first single from the album, titled “Mamá Inés“, has received notable mentions in Billboard in the ‘On The Radar’ section and was selected by Rolling Stone as one of the 15 artists to add to their playlist.
Its lyrics are based on the poem “Yesterday they told me black” by also Cuban Nicolás Guillén, in which he addresses the urgency of eradicating racism within the Afro community itself. She also captures it in her video, where she highlights the discrimination of many of her fellow students in Cuba by people of the same race as hers.
