Un Día Cualquiera: A Musical Journey from Cuba to America | Harold Lopez Nussa | Talks at Google

As scion of an illustrious musical family, 34-year-old Cuban pianist Harold López-Nussa is one of the brightest lights on Havana’s thriving jazz scene. Son of drummer Ruy López-Nussa and nephew of pianist Ernan López-Nussa, Harold gained international attention when he won top honors at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Piano Competition in 2005. While touring widely with the Buena Vista Social Club vocalist Omara Portuondo, he launched his solo career as the leader of a superlative trio with his younger brother, the phenomenal drummer Ruy Adrián López-Nussa, and bassist Gaston Joya. Nussa visits Google New York to perform music from his latest album, "Un Día Cualquiera," and engages with Brett Perlmutter, Head of Google Cuba, in a discussion about the complementary roles that music, tech and Internet connectivity can play to connect our two countries.
