Born in Fribourg in 1997, her artistic path reflects a deeply cross-cultural identity: shaped between Switzerland and Cuba, her musical language bridges modern jazz, Latin influences, and a narrative sensitivity that turns each composition into a living story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her creative universe\u2014nourished by experiences in Havana, New York, and across Europe\u2014moves between improvisation, memory, and rhythm, weaving together influences ranging from Swiss folklore to Afro-Caribbean traditions. Her recent album <em>Stories <\/em>confirms a distinctive aesthetic where the piano does more than perform\u2014it tells, evokes, and connects territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On April 17, as part of the renowned Cully Jazz Festival, Mullener took the main stage (Chapiteau) with her sextet, opening a high-caliber evening alongside artists such as Richard Bona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her performance reaffirmed what is already evident on today\u2019s scene: a powerful stage presence, an expressive musical language, and a groove driven by collective interplay. Her music unfolds as a journey\u2014from Havana to New York, through her Swiss roots\u2014where every note breathes identity, openness, and future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an edition that brought together thousands of spectators and leading figures of international jazz, Mullener stood out as a strong representative of the new generation of Swiss jazz, confirming that the torch is already being passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An artist to watch, where the piano becomes a territory of memory, cultural fusion, and global projection.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La pianista suiza Manon Mullener se confirma hoy como una de las voces emergentes m\u00e1s s\u00f3lidas del jazz europeo contempor\u00e1neo<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4116,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[14,206,39,16,82],"tags":[345,68,344,343,83,342,285],"class_list":{"0":"post-4115","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"hentry","7":"category-concierto","8":"category-cultura","9":"category-festival-de-jazz","10":"category-jazz","11":"category-musica","12":"tag-cully-jazz-festival","13":"tag-jazz","14":"tag-la-habana","15":"tag-manon-mllener","16":"tag-piano","17":"tag-piano-woman","18":"tag-suiza","20":"post-with-thumbnail","21":"post-with-thumbnail-large"},"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.afrokuba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-04-25-at-9.36.10-AM.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.afrokuba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4115","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.afrokuba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.afrokuba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.afrokuba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.afrokuba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4115"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.afrokuba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4115\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4121,"href":"https:\/\/www.afrokuba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4115\/revisions\/4121"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.afrokuba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4116"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.afrokuba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.afrokuba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4115"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.afrokuba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
