Yilian Cañizares
“Yilian is one of the most incredible talents of the new generation of Cuban musicians. She is a virtuoso, she is expressive, spontaneous and with a grace that makes her the favorite of all of us.” — Chucho Valdés
Yilian Cañizares is one of the most intriguing contemporary violinists, singers and composers. Always staying true to her origins, she skillfully blends jazz, classical and Afro-Cuban rhythms with her otherworldly voice. Whether on stage or in a recording studio, there are few talented artists like Yilian – who was born in Havana and settled in Switzerland – with such great respect for the past and sensitivity towards the future. In recent years, she has shared a stage with Chucho Valdés, Richard Bona, Ibrahim Maalouf, Omar Sosa, Youn Sun Nah, Michael League, Harold Lopez Nussa, Roberto Fonseca and Dhafer Youssef. Yilian Cañizares has received important recognitions, including the Swiss Music Award (2021) and the invitation to perform during the UN World Oceans Day. She has recently been selected as one of the 100 personalities of the year in Switzerland.
