Fulfilling a longtime dream of working together, award-winning artists Gonzalo Rubalcaba and Aymée Nuviola released Viento y Tiempo – Live at Blue Note Tokyo. Childhood friends from Havana, Cuba, who have both received widespread acclaim for their work, they joined forces for this live recording that took place during the pair's six-night sold out stint at Tokyo's prestigious Blue Note in August 2019.

The album received worldwide acclaim: Jazzwise Magazine and Songlines Magazines both awarded the album 4 stars, and it received positive reviews from Jazz Life Magazine (Japan), Latin Jazz, and London Jazz News, among others.
