Edelmis Pedroso and Fernando Wilhemi attempt to summarize their new project in a simple phrase: "Jazz in Spanish." Drawing on the popular music of various Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries, they have created a melodic and harmonic universe adapted to the concept of jazz improvisation for a collection of standards sung in Spanish: Bola de Nieve, Chabuca Granda, Chico Buarque... and original compositions with music and lyrics by Fernando Wilhemi. Edelmis was a member of the group "Mangüaré" for over 25 years and has worked with artists such as Omara Portuondo and Silvio Rodríguez. Fernando Wilhemi has combined teaching at various conservatories with his work as a composer, arranger, and director of the "Orquesta de Ida y Vuelta" and the "Big Band Latina Classijazz."

Timbalito Street is a Cuban music quartet founded in 2011 by Lino Díaz, a Cuban pianist and tres player. Together with Lupe Amador, also Cuban, on vocals and percussion, they created their own project, performing classics from the Cuban popular songbook with touches of jazz, their preferred genre and one that blends seamlessly with Latin music.

By adding Fernando Wilhelmi, a flautist, saxophonist, and composer with extensive experience in the traditional music of Cuba and Brazil and in Latin jazz, and Rolando Díaz, a Cuban percussionist and founder of Charanga Habanera, they have achieved an ideal formula that unites tradition and innovation in a single performance with flavors of both Cuban past and present.
