Yusa is recognized as one of the leading voices of Cuban music of the XXI century. Her compositions have earned the recognition of her contemporaries on the island and international admiration. Freedom has always marked the life and artistic production of this singer-songwriter. She has shared the stage with Haydée Milanés, William Vivanco, Kelvis Ochoa and Francis del Río. She has also performed with Interactivo and Domingo Candelario duo formed at the beginning of his musical career. In 2008, at the end of her contract with Tumi Music, she founded her own label YUSA Records, with which she recorded her fifth album, Libro de cabecera en tardes de café in 2012. This laid the basis of her talent with musicians of the level of Omara Portuondo, Raly Barrionuevo, Telmary Diaz, Veronica Condomí, Liliana Vitale, and others.
