Claudia Gonzalez reemerges with Cava, a project that continues the evolution of Latin music in Los Angeles. Her Voice communicates a strong-willed feminine energy that is simultaneously sultry and maternal. Cava is a combination of sounds unique to a Mexican-American upbringing. The ensemble features Walter Miranda on Piano, electric-Keyboards&Bass, Alfredo Ortiz on Drums ,Timbales, Franchot Tone on Guitar and Maceo on Japanese Taiko drums.
The young musicians together create a jazzy blend of traditional son, cumbia, ska and salsa. Claudia has been featured in local L.A. Magazine “Tú Ciudad†as the next up and coming artist to look out for. She has independently released her new album titled “CAVA†introducing the new configuration of Latin powered Jazz with a tinge of Peruvian soul weaving in and out of Cumbia, Salsa, Afro-Cuban Son and Ska beats.
L.A. Times wrote in a week-end Calendar Music Review, “ ‘But then came CAVA, a bawdy, boisterous and blistering singer-songwriter….‘Cava takes the stage like a gang claims it’s home turf.…It’s a shot in the arm for East L.A.’s moribund music scene.’ â€
