Renowned Cuban singer Aymée Nuviola has confirmed her performance on October 11 at Madrid's iconic Puerta del Sol, as part of the official lineup for Hispanidad 2026. This cultural festival, organized by the Community of Madrid, commemorates Hispanic Day with a variety of events.
Nuviola shared her excitement about the upcoming performance during an interview with Tania Costa for CiberCuba, describing the opportunity as "a tremendous honor" and the venue as "vast and impressive." She remarked, "It's a significant honor to celebrate Hispanic Day on such a grand stage, representing women, Cubans, and Hispanics who share the heritage of Spain, the 'motherland' as it is often called."
The singer extended a heartfelt invitation to the Cuban community in Spain and all those who resonate with Hispanic culture: "I hope the Cubans watching this interview will join me. Let's enjoy together."
Nuviola has already curated a special setlist for the evening. "You'll love it. It offers an incredible variety, full of rhythm, flavor, and joy," she promised. Her concerts are known for lasting over two hours, leaving audiences singing and dancing, unaware of the time passing.
"I have a blast when I'm performing. I joke with my audience, I get them to sing and dance. People get so wrapped up in the experience that they don't even realize when an hour or more has gone by," she explained.
Her performance is part of Hispanidad 2026, running from October 2 to 12 in Madrid, featuring over 150 cultural, musical, and sporting events across the city, including Plaza de España, Plaza Mayor, and Puerta del Sol. This year's guest country is the United States.
The festival's lineup includes international stars like Sebastián Yatra, Marta Sánchez, Arturo Sandoval, and Cimafunk, placing Nuviola among top-tier artists.
This concert coincides with a pivotal moment in Nuviola's career, following the release of her album "Aymée Nuviola feat. Kemuel Roig Live at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club." Recorded in July 2025 at London's legendary venue, she may have become the first Cuban female soloist to produce a globally distributed digital album from this historic site.
A Grammy winner in 2020 and recipient of multiple Latin Grammys, Nuviola concluded the interview with an open invitation to all her fans: "I know you'll love it, and it will be a massive gathering. So everyone listening, not just Cubans but all who connect with our culture and music, see you on October 11 at Puerta del Sol in Madrid, Spain."
