About Gabriel Navia & Sulkary

Gabriel Navia & Sulkary emanate passion and soul in their music. Gabriel Navia is a Latin Grammy nominated guitarist, composer and producer whose stylistic range is breathtaking from latin-based Carlos Santana and Alejandro Sanz to jazz-flamenco world-fusion pioneers Al di Meola, John McLaughlin, Paco de Lucia, and Vicente Amigo.
Sulkary Valverde is one of the greatest new voices of Cuba. Her voice is deep and soulful -- her precision and outstanding ear enable her to easily sing a story. Her improvisational skills will take you on a voyage from Cuba to Africa with a Spanish connection.
Both artists have toured extensively throughout the United States, Europe, Asia and South America and have shared stages with the San Francisco Symphony, Santana, Steve Miller, Chuchito Valdes, Buena Vista Social Club, Eliades Ochoa, Havana D' Primera, Eddy Navia, Sukay, Savia Andina, Los Kjarkas and more.
