Maria Elena - Enrique Chia

The traditional sounds of Cuba have been resurrected through the piano playing of Enrique Chia. Nominated for a Grammy Award in 2001 in the Best Classical Crossover category for his album The Music of Ernesto Lecuona, Chia weaves a dance-inspiring mixture of soft pop, Latin dance tunes, and boleros. Although he initially performed only at benefit concerts for the Jackson Memorial Hospital's cancer clinic for children, Chia has increasingly reached out to a global audience. For much of his career, Chia balanced music with academic pursuits.
