Abel marcel
Described by The Guardian as “a phenomenal, dynamic, imaginative. An outstanding pianist.” Abel Marcel has been praised by the Music Republic Magazine as “equally at home with the european and american jazz traditions as he is with his own cuban roots."
Abel’s musical language stood and stands for continued fresh and thrilling exploration on steady ground of and deep rootedness in the rhythmic traditions of the Caribbean and Latin American, the Cuban creative music movement of the 50s and 70s (Renovación Musical), and the lineage of composer-pianists from Manuel Saumell and María Cervantes to Numidia Vaillant and Tania Leon.
A tireless collaborator, and dance lover he has written music for the choreographers Jan Linkens, Judith Sanchez Ruiz and the ballet start Carlos Acosta, remixed recordings of Theodor Milkov, Duel Chromatic joined forces with musicians such as Yuri Buenaventura, David Murray, Changuito, Saul Williams, Nasheet Waits, Jorge Reyes, and and developed interdisciplinary work with Maria Dolores Silvestro, Francisco Calderón, Hannah Bates , and Nadia Reyes.
From beautifully lyrical, classically inspired pieces to unconventional, almost dissonant tunes, and then transitioning into a gorgeous melody.

Afromuse, its inspired in my grandmother Delia and our dialogues...Mujer Negra
Todavía huelo la espuma del mar que me hicieron atravesar.
La noche, no puedo recordarla.
Ni el mismo océano podría recordarla.
Pero no olvido el primer alcatraz que divisé.
Altas, las nubes, como inocentes testigos presenciales.
Acaso no he olvidado ni mi costa perdida, ni mi lengua ancestral
Me dejaron aquí y aquí he vivido.
Y porque trabajé como una bestia,
aquí volví a nacer.
A cuanta epopeya mandinga intenté recurrir.
Nancy Morejon
