About
Axel Tosca
Cuban born Axel Tosca Laugart is one of the most dynamic young pianists on the scene. Raised in a family of musicians, Laugart took an early interest in the guitar before learning to play piano at the age of seven. Laugart’s mother, Xiomada Laugart, is a world-famous singer, with whom he still performs today.
Laugart credits Miriam Valdez, sister of the famous Cuban virtuoso Chucho Valdez, and Rosa Maia Tolo, with helping mature his style and musicality. He has performed with numerous Latin jazz groups, and his involvement in Cuba’s hip-hop scene provided the opportunity to play with The Roots while they were in Cuba...
