Cuban Pianist-singer-songwriter Glenda del E gives Cuban music a fresh new take with her exceptional musicality, her piano and her voice… “This is not only about her original compositions and arrangements, but also about producer Dave Gray’s magic touch, the gift of talented musicians and a family legacy.”“Q-ban Mixology” evolved from Glenda’s trademark, positive and inspiring lyrics and melodies for all ages, pop-soul hooks and funk-jazz influenced arrangements defy generally held notions of what Cuban music is and defines her truly unique, genuine and her real sound. Her music reflects what she is: A strong academic trained musician transcending frontiers and a role model for future generations.GLENDA DEL E lead vocal/piano/keyboards/flute(2)/back up vocalsMARIO DEL MONTE Jr. all percussion (3,4,5,8,9)/drums (4,7)/trumpet (1,5)MIREYA ESCALANTE lead vocal (7)/back up vocals (1,3,5,7,9)JUAN PABLO DOMINGUEZ bass (1,2,4)ROBERTO RIVERON acoustic bass (3,6,9)/additional vocal (3,9)YOSER RODRIGUEZ acoustic bass (8)OMAR MARTINEZ bass (5)ODALYS CUESTA bass (7)ELMER FERRER electric guitar (1,2,5)PABLOSKY ROSALES tres (3,9)/guitar(3,9)YORDANIS O’REALLY cajon(6)/percussion(4,6)MIGUELITO VALDES trumpet(3,4,9)ALEXANDER BROWN flugelhorn(2)YAURE MUNIZ flugelhorn(4)BENNY ‘El Baby’ ESCALANTE lead vocal(9)IREDIS ‘Puchita’ MENA additional vocal (2)MARIO DEL MONTE Sr. trumpet(8)IMARBYS CANETE flute(7)JORGE MAZA flute(4)AHMED MITCHEL drums(2)(plays Istanbul & Alchemy Cymbals/Heartbeat percussion.)ELIJAH WALSH rap vocal(1)YOSVANI CASTANEDA electric and acoustic violins(7)/back up vocal(7)SHARON LEE violin(1)JUDITH MANGER cello(1)All music and lyrics by GLENDA DEL MONTE ESCALANTEAll arrangements by GLENDA DEL MONTE ESCALANTE Additional Horn Arrangement by DAVID GRAY/MARIO DEL MONTE Jr. (1,5)Additional Horn Arrangement by MIGUELITO VALDES (3,9)Additional Guitar Arrangements by ELMER FERRER (1,2,5)Additional Tres Arrangement by PABLOSKY ROSALES (3,9)Additional Percussion Arrangements by MARIO DEL MONTE Jr.(4,8)Additional Vocal Arrangements by MIREYA ESCALANTE/ DAVID GRAY (1,3,5,7,9)Produced by DAVID GRAY/ GLENDA DEL MONTE ESCALANTEAdditional Vocal (9) Produced by YUSEF DIAZ ESCOBARRecorded at BIG WORLD SOUNDS/ GDELE RecordsAdditional Vocal Recording (9) at RADIO PROGRESO STUDIO 1 (CUBA)Engineered by DAVID GRAY/ GLENDA DEL MONTE ESCALANTEAdditional Vocal Engineered (9) GUSTAVO J.
