With a presentation in his homeland, Nicaro -a town in the municipality of Mayarí- Norberto Leyva and his band marked the beginning of a tour scheduled for this summer in several localities of Holguín province.
The tour, sponsored by the Provincial Directorate of Culture, the Provincial Center for Music and Performances, the Fautino Oramas Provincial Center of Music and Shows, Egrem and Havana Club, presents the new album Déjame Soñar, the result of a compilation of 10 songs by authors from the territory such as Fernando Cabreja, Alito Abad, Camilo de la Peña, Raúl Prieto and El Guayabero, with a wide variety of musical genres.
“This album is special because it brings together some pieces written by singer-songwriters of the territory and for having presented it in my homeland, where I made my first steps, where I was born, where I was trained… It is very important and necessary to always go back to the roots to be able to continue on, you always learn from the essence, from one’s own genesis”.
This phonogram from the Egrem record label received a nomination for the Cubadisco 2024 festival, and it is Norberto Leyva’s second nomination, previously, the CD Contra la Pared was also nominated.
“To be able to show the work of a whole territory in Cubadisco, from an album, I think it’s great, I think the project is very noble, very altruistic, that’s why we are so happy”.
For the presentation of the album, born in the stage of the Covid-19 pandemic, Norberto and his band promise to tour the entire geography of Holguin until August 23, where the tour will culminate in the city of Moa.
Norberto is a musician much loved by the Holguinero public. Beyond the Cuban geography, he has performed in Venezuela and Panama.
