Cuban American sensation MannyA debuts with summer smash and transportive video on "Que Siga La Gozadera"

Verdict Music's MannyA, a N.Y. based, Cuban born multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter with well-earned bragging rights as a seasoned master percussionist.

Yet, despite his notable and well-deserved accolades spanning an illustrious career, Manny maintains an unassuming humility that is both rare and refreshing.

He cut his teeth as a teenager playing in tourist hotels all over Cuba and eventually left his homeland in 2003. MannyA may be a long way from his homeland of Cuba but has never forgotten that it is the place that shaped him. Archetypically Latin but quintessentially Cuban, Manny is the embodiment of the modern day Latin American musician. Whether playing an intimate NY Jazz club or at Carnegie Hall, Manny brings not only his technical proficiency to the stage but also an understated refinement, elegance and class reminiscent of years gone by.

Most recently, he played the prestigious Toros y Salsa Fest in Southern France but routinely shares the stage with Hernan Romero, a world renowned classical Flamenco guitarist as well as Edwin Perez and Yuniel Jimenez.

He has toured extensively with David Broza, an Israeli singer-songwriter and has performed with Braily Ramos of Celia Cruz fame. Most noteworthy, his creative contributions in 2016 with the late Andy Gonzalez yielded a Grammy nomination for Best Latin Jazz Album.

Take a moment to acquaint yourself with his fresh highly addictive debut single “Que Siga La Gozadera” (Havana Mix), an uptempo dance track with an infectious hook that seamlessly blends a signature Latin rhythm with tastefully infused melodies.

"Que Siga La Gozadera" is an homage to the joyful spirit that Latinos everywhere embody, especially my people from Cuba who, despite their profound suffering, have always found joy and happiness in music and dance. With this in mind, I invite all of you to dance and continue to enjoy the marvelous gift of this life!- MannyA
