Guitarist and composer Lolivone de la Rosa celebrates the release of Jewels, a debut shaped by Puerto Rican roots, bebop tradition, and personal storytelling. The set moves between original music, reworked standards, and folkloric influences, shifting from straight-ahead swing to Afro-Rican and Afro-Cuban rhythms. Each piece draws from lived moments like family, memory, and everyday life, giving the music a clear sense of connection as it unfolds.
