GON BOPS and BRENDA NAVARRETE sign artist endorsement deal
Montreal, QC – April 4, 2016 - Brenda Navarrete is pleased to announce that she has signed an artist endorsement deal with the Gon Bops percussion company. The 26-year old singer, percussionist, composer and arranger from Havana, Cuba, will join the company’s elite lineup of top percussion professionals.
Brenda Navarrete’s percussion expertise first earned her an artist endorsement contract in 2013 with Canadian company Sabian, joining their roster of some of the world’s most talented percussionists. Brenda now takes the stage as a Gon Bops endorsed artist and will continue to dazzle audiences with her live performances on Alex Acuna Special Edition congas.
In March 2017, she signed a multi-release recording deal with Toronto-based ALMA Records and her solo debut, MI MUNDO, was released worldwide in January 2018. Recorded in Havana and Toronto with producer Peter Cardinali (ALMA's founder), award-winning engineer John “Beetle” Bailey and an all-star cast of Cuban instrumentalists, the stylistically-eclectic album delivers a fresh and unique interpretation of contemporary World and Jazz music, while shining light on Brenda’s rare skills and musical originality.
