Roberto Carcasses. Pianist and composer. Excellent musician who has led his groups towards contemporary Latin jazz, with an infinite spectrum of resources, achieved both on the piano and on electronic keyboards. He is currently in charge of the Interactive music project. This group is one of the newest events in current Cuban music. It is not a formally constituted musical band, but rather a group joined by instrumentalists and vocalists who already have, individually, a solid professional career, and for whom Interactivo is an open door to creative musical freedom, to work in equipment and experimentation.
Artists from very diverse musical tendencies gather around Roberto Carcassés, an eminent young pianist, percussionist, arranger and composer, to make Interactivo a formidable creation workshop. The band emerged spontaneously: Roberto Carcassés was the arranger for the first album by the Cuban multi-instrumentalist and singer Yusa, recorded in the summer of 2001; both were very motivated by this work and from then on the idea of calling other musicians arose. In that same year the band recorded its first demo, called "Wanted" which included about seven songs, and was an excellent prelude to the making of the group's first CD, called "Goza Pepillo" which was released three years later.
