Alma (Alma Rosa) and Niurka are two Cuban childhood friends who reunited in Miami after many years apart, each musician having established themselves as true artists on their own. As a duo they became an inseparable force.

With soaring vocals and shimmering twin guitars, Alma & Niurka conjure the lush melodies, stirring rhythms and rich harmonies of Afro-Cuban culture. The virtuosity and musicality of these two women is dazzling, but it is the unabashed emotional fire, sensuality and passion that Alma and Niurka transmit that makes this duo special. —Courtesy Calabash Music
