Reynier Aldana

Born in Havana, Cuba and raised in the Nuevo Vedado neighborhood, Reynier Aldana starts as a percusionist in the Cuban music world at just 14 and, later on, he gets interested on the guitar thanks to his older brother. At the age of 17, he started to play bass in a band formed by a group of friends and, in 2003, founds the band MATE as a bassist, performing in different locals and festivals all around Cuba. Step by step and song by song he starts to defend his music singing with his guitar.

His music is full of African rhythms, pop rock, funk, boleros and, sometimes, even electronic sound effects, all of this spiced with Cuban music.

He steps on galician lands searching for new languages within music and to create his own band. He has collaborated in several projects with Alejandro Vargas and musicians such as L.A.R. Legido, Chus Pasos, Max Gómez and Gustavo Almeida.

Aldana publishes his first work “Huella” (2016) produced together with the Brazilian guitarrist Leonardo Rodrigues.
