He recalls the start of his artistic journey; \u201cMy first guitar was made for me by an elderly farmer who crafted it out of scraps of wood. I started playing it when I was just eight years old.\u201d He was taught by his father, his &#8220;main inspiration and support, the one with the musical gene in the family&#8221;. By fourteen, he had a proper Spanish guitar with nylon strings.<br \/>\nAt seventeen years old, Yos\u00e1n began his professional music career. \u201cMusic, lyrics\u2026 it\u2019s always come naturally to me since I was little.\u201d He draws inspiration from an eclectic range of genres, including Anglo-Saxon and 60s Spanish music, electric bass and rock and traditional sounds of Cuban son, guaracha and bolero. &#8220;I played the Cuban tres with a band that used to play in Old Havana tourist bars. Then, I moved to the quieter hotel circuit, and that&#8217;s how I started in Lanzarote, where I sing, too.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cAlthough singing and playing went hand in hand, composing came a little later, when I was around 21.\u201d True to his Cuban roots, Yos\u00e1n exudes natural talent which he applies to playing, recording, and arranging music. &#8220;I\u2019ve just recorded a single with Alean Imbert, a Miami-based Cuban producer who\u2019s worked with Cristina Aguilera, Franco de Vita and the Orishas. The track is pure tropical fusion called &#8216;Ya es demasiado tarde&#8217;. I recorded the strings and vocals, and percussionist Willy Morales, a fellow Cuban Lanzarote resident, added bongos, congas and timbales whilst Alean did the arrangements.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI have recorded several demos,&#8221; he continues, &#8220;ready to be produced one at a time and released through online platforms. That&#8217;s how the industry works now, making an impact and creating a demand. It&#8217;s a delicate balance.&#8221;<br \/>\nYos\u00e1n has three concerts in Lanzarote under his belt, a ten-song duet album \u2018La Vida es Hoy&#8217; with fellow Cuban-Lanzarote\u00f1o, Sergio de Jes\u00fas, available on different social media platforms, including videos on YouTube, plus solo projects.<br \/>\nLooking back, he wouldn&#8217;t change a thing. &#8220;It made me who I am today.&#8221; he reflects. Looking ahead, he hopes to produce for other artists and explore instrumentals, composing soundtracks for documentaries and series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yos\u00e1n Pereda is a multifaceted artist, fusing sounds, styles and careers as a musician, singer-songwriter, arranger and, more recently, music producer Laid-back Cuban country boy Yos\u00e1n Pereda is a singer-songwriter, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27178,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52,50],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.1 -
