Historia de um amor is a music project inspired by Cuban sounds and the Cuban tradition with the aim to introduce the rich Cuban music culture to Cypriot audiences through an entertaining, joyful, summer evening. A group of young professionals and acclaimed musicians took the initiative to select well-known and more traditional Cuban tunes, and arrange them in a unique cross-cultured, musical way to perform them in the style of a concert merging Cuban styles with personal musical influences.

The name Historia de um amor is translated into “A Love Story” and it is based on one of the most famous and most translated Spanish songs of all time, composed by Panamanian songwriter Carlos Eleta Almarán. The artistic style of the concert together with the Cuban concept and atmosphere will perfectly suit the summer climate of Cyprus and enrich the music events scene of August.

The 5-piece ensemble will be led by award-winning trumpet player Giannis Koudounas, a young Cypriot artist who is rapidly establishing himself as one of the most talented performers in Cyprus and the United Kingdom. Giannis has recently completed his Master’s degree in Trumpet Performance at the Royal Holloway University of London, awarded with the Principle’s Scholarship. All music will be arranged by award-winning composer, Cypriot-Cuban Alexandros Darna who studied Composition at Intituto Superior de Arte in Havana, Cuba. Alexandros is now a scholarship student at the Manhattan School of Music in New York and his works are internationally acclaimed.

Historia de un amor is not only a cultural, innovative project which will build the musical bridge between the Cuban musical tradition and Cyprus audiences, but it will also showcase new Cypriot talents and give the floor to remarkable, new-generation musicians, artists and performers.
