LINER NOTES with David Bixler featuring Aruán Ortiz
About this episode
Aruán Ortiz discusses his solo piano record 'Créole Renaissance' and its connections to the Négritude movement and his experiences as a Cuban-American in New York City.
Créole Renaissance is the latest offering from pianist Aruán Ortiz on Intakt Records . This solo piano record draws its inspiration from the Négritude movement that originated in Paris in the early part of the 20th century that was established to counteract the anti-colonialism attitudes that many black artists in Paris faced as they worked in their various disciplines. In this episode of LINER NOTES , Aruán describes the inspiration that he was able to draw from this movement and reflects on the parallels he encounters as a Cuban-American living in New York City in 2025.
