She started her professional career when she was 14, with her parent’s legendary Afro-Cuban rock band Síntesis, for which she was singer and composer, and was nominated for Latin Grammy in 2002. With Síntesis she traveled America and Europe for 10 years, performing at international festivals such as Rock in Rio in Brazil, Jazz à Vienne in Austria, and Nice Jazz Festival in France. Eme started her solo career in 2008 and collaborated with renowned artists such as Fito Páez, Chucho Valdés, Omara Portuondo, and Florence K. She sang for one million people at Juanes ́ Peace Concert in Havana. Eme has a warm and vibrant voice that is representative of the kind of music that defies expectations of what Cuban music should sound like. When not on the road, she serves as the Artistic Director of the Havana World Music International Festival, supported by the Cuban Ministry of Culture, and has been part of important projects promoting the cultural diversity of Cuba such as “Para Mestizar”, sponsored by UNESCO.
