Roberto Poveda is a unique artist, presently living in vibrant New York City where he draws inspiration from the enormous melting pot of cultural, visual, and sound impressions. Roberto Poveda’s music is recognized both for its understated, sensual sounds and for its humorous and profound lyrics. Combined with his relaxed vocal style mixed with a raspy voice, and lyrical guitar playing, Roberto Poveda produces an infectious and very compelling Latin sound with influences from bolero, salsa, rumba, samba, hip-hop, and jazz. Roberto Poveda’s music is a meditation on differing sets of priorities among different people, using language that has helped him earn widespread acclaim for his eloquent songwriting over the last two decades. His infectious melange of traditional Cuban Son elements makes for a gripping cross-cultural blend. His musical journey took him to Bogota, Colombia where he spent eight years writing, singing, performing and also acting in musical theater and television; experiences that would later influence his sound world. In 1997 Roberto Poveda relocated to Miami, and entered a prolific period, producing a catalogue of over one hundred songs for the major Latin publisher Peermusic. He went on to record Son Eléctrico (2004),and one of its songs, Sueño Mama, wasselected byPutumayo World Recordsfor the compilationLatin Lounge(2006). His voice and personality caught the attention of violinist and producer Alfredo Triff, with whom he recorded Boleros Perdidos(2006), DadaSon(2009) and more recently,Miami Untitled(2013). Later on inNew York, Poveda collaborated with renowned jazz musician and producer Kip Hanrahan, in At Home in Anger (2012), and toured with the band Beautiful Scars to the Ljubljana and Lugano Jazz Festivals (2010) under Hanrahan’s brilliant leadership. Roberto Poveda also joined forces with Fima Ephron(Screaming Headless Torsos, Lost Tribe) with whom he collaborated onBrooklyn Nights, his most recent album (2012) - recorded and mixed by Michael Brorby at Acoustic Recordings Studio in Brooklyn, NY. Notably, the cover was designed by renowned Cuban artist Arturo Cuenca. (A tune from this album, Mulatto, was released onCafe Latino,in September 2013). Roberto Poveda developed his trademark style over the years from experimenting with the arts, and combining sounds, images and experiences to recreate his reality time, in an inspiring and uncomplicated manner. Today he continues to innovate across platforms with video-art, photography, music scoring, and new media, influenced by insights from his world travels, live performances and teaching special education. Roberto Poveda masterfully engages his audiences by surprising and delighting them with his unique expressions in art and music, evoking laughter, desire and satisfaction all at the same time.
