Born on October 3, 1988, she is a singer, songwriter and fine-art photography model. Her career reflects a deep devotion to the Cuban tradition of filin. She trained at the Eduardo Garc\u00eda Delgado School for Art Instructors before taking lessons from the celebrated opera singers Gladys Puig and Conchita Franqui Alemani. She made her professional debut at the age of eighteen at the Bas\u00edlica Menor of the Convent of San Francisco de As\u00eds, under the direction of maestro Huberal Herrera, and later shared the stage with prominent figures such as Luci Provedo and Luis Carbonell in emblematic venues such as the Oratorio de San Felipe Neri and the Teatro Amadeo Rold\u00e1n. Since 2010 she has been a founding member of the jazz group Portillo y Cauce, with which she has performed on renowned Havana stages such as the Theater of the National Museum of Fine Arts, La Zorra y el Cuervo, Jazz Caf\u00e9, F\u00e1brica de Arte Cubano and the UNEAC. She belongs to the Centro Nacional de M\u00fasica Popular and, since 2012, also works as a radio and film producer and artistic director.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Her career includes her participation as a juror in the French song competition of the Teatro Mella, appearances on Cuban radio and television \u2014on programs such as 23 y M<\/em>, Mediod\u00eda en TV<\/em>, Cuerda Viva<\/em> and La Majom\u00eda<\/em>\u2014 and collaborations with artists of the caliber of Orlando \u201cMaraca\u201d Valle, Bobby Carcass\u00e9s and Ana\u00eds Abreu. A disciple of the filin master Gerardo Portillo Scull, she has performed in multiple editions of the Jazz Plaza festival and the \u201cAmigos del Jazz\u201d festival in Santiago de Cuba. In 2019 she released her debut album, De tu F\u00edlin a mi Feeling<\/em>, in tribute to composers of the genre such as Jos\u00e9 Antonio M\u00e9ndez, \u00d1ico Rojas, C\u00e9sar Portillo de la Luz and Marta Vald\u00e9s. This project moved Marta Vald\u00e9s so much that she invited her to perform at a tribute to \u00d1ico Rojas. In that same period she joined the television program M\u00fasica entre Nos<\/em>, by Beatriz M\u00e1rquez, where she performed the Brazilian classic \u201cCorcovado\u201d and the emblematic Vieja Trova song \u201cAusencia\u201d.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Following this success, in 2020 she launched her own project, Habana F\u00edlin<\/em>, as a response to the pandemic, in collaboration with the acclaimed pianist Jos\u00e9 Portillo. With a repertoire that spans filin, jazz, bolero, Brazilian music, trova and son, she continues composing and performing as one of the emerging voices of contemporary filin in Cuba.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Habana Fil\u00edn is Yohana's band and musical home, a group of variable lineup that brings together some of the most brilliant jazz musicians in Havana. They are ready to follow her wherever the song wants to take them: from an intimate bolero, with just piano and voice, to a full arrangement with wind and string sections.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
