Maykel Blanco y su Salsa Mayar
<Michael Blanco i s Salsa Major>

Michael Blanco (composer, arranger, pianist, percussionist), who is attracting attention as the most talented musician of today's young Cuban musicians, has decided to carry out his first tour of Japan this summer. In 2004, he formed his own orchestra "Salsa Mayor" at the young age of 23. In a blink of an eye, he became famous both in Japan and overseas as one of the directors of the orchestra representing the Cuban Salsa world. While maintaining the clear concept of protecting the roots of Cuban music, he continues to attract salsa fans around the world with modern sounds that reflect the times, novel and youthful images. Not only in Central and South America, but also in the United States and Europe, he has received high praise for his high musicality and entertainment live performances, and in 2006 and 2007 he was the best group of Cuba popular music in Italy, and as an artist who performed the best concerts in Paris. Currently, he has toured Europe in 15 European cities, including France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Spain. For Japanese salsa fans, only the long-awaited first visit to Japan will be one of the most popular performances this summer.
