Tumi Music is proud to present 'BREATHE', the second album from Cuba's 21st century singer Yusa. It follows on from the ground-breaking, eponymous 'Yusa', her debut album which brought Yusa immediate acclaim from France to Denmark, Japan to the USA and won her a coveted nomination for the BBC Radio 3 World Music Awards in two categories.

Fresh from Yusa's outstanding success on the Latin Voices tour with fellow South American singers Susana Baca and Lila Downs, 'Breathe' has been recorded at home in Cuba and also in the USA and with a Brazilian connection coming via 'De Colores', with Lenine. He is the irresistible Brazilian voice of the moment and a progressive singer-songwriter like Yusa herself. She accepted his invitation to participate in his live album Cite (BMG, Brazil) and like he accepted hers to feature in her record.

Yusa's first album marked her out as a new jewel in Cuba's musical crown. 'Breathe' sees this vital artist with her eclectic breadth of sound take yet another leap forward, revealing 21st century Cuban music to be a vital mix of exciting musical ideas, cheeky, witty and ambitious talent.

Special guests include Lenine and Haydee Milanes. 'Breathe' is produced by Descemer Bueno.
