More about Buena Fe: their name in an interpretive translation means “good will”. Although they’re hard to categorize as belonging to any particular music genre, Buena Fe recognize that trova is at the very root of everything they create. Adept to absorb music influences with chameleon ability, Buena Fe has thus far produced seven highly acclaimed albums since the group’s creation in 1999. Their immense popularity is owed to combining lyrics that address the issues of today’s Cuba, including politics, sexuality, philosophical musings, etc, with exquisite musical arrangements. That being said, their voices are as delightful as the finest Cuban rum. They have also collaborated with Cuba’s top musicians, among them Silvio Rodríguez, Eliades Ochoa, Pablo Milanes, and Descemer Bueno, to name just a few. Recently, they have signed with Metamorfosis, the record label run by Latin American icon Ricardo Arjona, with whom they also recorded a song. They’ll be promoting their latest release, “Sobreviviente”, during the Canadian tour.
