Yilian Cañizares stands out as one of the extraordinary talents of the new generation of Cuban musicians. She conquers international stages, taking traditional Cuban violin beyond the boundaries of classical music.

Yillian was born in Havana and later settled in Switzerland. On her return to Cuba for this year’s Jazz Plaza Festival, she shares her vision: “Cuban music has virtuosity, flavor, and cubanía, and I come to add a little sweetness, my feminine perspective.”

For Yilian, Jazz Plaza is a place where dreams turn into music, and where roots, friendship and dedication are celebrated. A space that inspires new generations, especially women who want to leave their mark on music.

Discover her story, her music, and her passion for Cuba and Afro-Cuban jazz in this interview with our journalist Liz Oliva Fernández.

Returning to Havana to perform at the International Jazz Plaza Festival, renowned Cuban-born violinist Yilian Cañizares explains why Cuban musicians have had such a huge impact on the global music scene.

“There’s a kind of magic formula in Cuba,” she says.

Part of that magic formula is the rigorous musical education Cuban musicians receive from an early age, trained not only in their instruments, but also in the theory, history and culture of music.

Yilian says music in Cuba is not just studied - it’s lived. It’s part of everyday life, woven into the culture, the streets, and the rhythms people grow up with. That constant presence shapes musicians in a way that’s unique to the island.
