TELMARY DIAZ .

TELMARY:Hip hop,trip hop,jazz poet,flow-mucho flow cubano.
She was born in Havana,Cuba(march 10,19...)She is the most authentic rapper of the island.Her studies of English.theatre,photography and screenplay writing have shaped her as an artist and helped her ultimate goal,to communicate.
Her first band:FREE HOLE NEGRO,1999.She joined the INTERACTIVE PROJECT in 2002,a band whith a diverse sound that transforms from a jazz trio to an orchestra.Whith grace and virtuosity they travel through funky,jazz,hip hop and more,maintaining their cuban flavour through out.Commanding the "INTERACTIVE"ship is Roberto Carcasses,the aclaimed cuban pianist.

Telmary has collaborated with many artists ,including Pío Leyva(Buenavista Social Club),Gema y Pavel,Yusa,Isaac Delgado,Gerardo Alfonso,Giraldo Piloto,Lucia Huergo,X alfonso,Kelvis Ochoa,Vanito Caballero,Francis del Rio,los Van Van,Willian Vivanco,Descemer Bueno,and has been involved in several proyects such as ,Rotilla proyect,Cool Cool Filin,and of course INTERACTIVE. Now Telmary starts her solo project .She just finished her first album "A DIARIO".

Telmary A Diario Import CD (BIS 575), Released 2006; Editor's Pick: A Diario, the powerhouse debut release by Cuban singer-songwriter Telmary, is part of the new wave of Cuban pop music that defies categorization. Produced by Roberto Carcasses who seems to be the eye of the storm of this Cuban musical revolution and Yusa, A Diario often utilizes hip hop as a springboard to launch a barrage of fist-in-the-air vocal poetry and densely layered sounds that borrow from technology, nature and pop music. This is hip hop rock on such a totally fresh new level that it demands a new name no hop, post hop, whatever. There are moments when timba tries to take control, as on "Que Equivoca'o." But Telmary is too strong to relinquish control. Her voice never raises, but maintains such authority that you just have to get out of her way. This is one of the more interesting releases to come out of Cuba in years. Check out "Mr. God," sung in english, as the singer appeals "...But it's not fair, we are not a zero; we are walking in the same trip; Mister God, Mister Mad, Mister Rambo; Go go easy, not so fast... come to my, come to my flow." Damn, this is good stuff. There's too much to talk about here; listen to what she does with "Marilu," Van Van's early rock and roll hit. A Diaro features guests Descemer, Athanai, Kumar, Yusa and others. Whatever you think about Telmary, one thing is for sure. She's a contender an artist whose time is now. Very Highly Recommended.
