Editorial Reviews

* Haiku is an album of songs about love and life, certainty and uncertainty, self-doubt and self-confidence, fun and sadness--all written and sung by one of Cuba's brightest stars.

* A unique blend of Cuban and Brazilian crossover flavors.

* Yusa is highly acclaimed as one of Cuba's freshest new talents. She has gained international recognition for her previous albums.

* Features Síntesis, Cuba's first prog-rock band, on "Haiku de Paz."

* Produced by Alê Siqueira.

"The rich sultriness of Yusa's luscious voice allies her with Brazil's new samba singers, but has also led to comparisons with Tracy Chapman, while her harmonic explorations conjure Cassandra Wilson." -- Songlines

"Yusa has arrived as a powerful new voice stocked with a profound knowledge of her musical roots and an innovative reinvention of Cuba." -- Global Rhythm

"Do yourself a favor and embrace the warm charismatic charm of Yusa." -- Jazzwise --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.
