Artist Name: Magaly Bernal
Genre: Afro-Cuban
Country: Cuba

Artist Bio: 

At ease with all Cuban musical genres, with a slight preference for the Afro-Cuban tradition, Magaly Bernal is a singer of the highest order — probably the next Latin American diva after Celia Cruz or Toto la Momposina.

With great elegance and a voice of surprising amplitude, she carries on in the wake of Celeste Mendoza or Merceditas Valdès, but with a very personal style, of which only she has the secret.
