Making Miami with Josie Novo: Lena Burke, Latin Grammy Winner and Nominee
Sep 19, 2026
On this episode of Making Miami, hosted by Josie Novo, we welcome Lena Burke—pianist, composer, singer, and Latin Grammy winner—for an engaging conversation on family legacy, the immigrant experience, and the music that has shaped her life. Together they explore three generations of Cuban musi
cal excellence, the road from Havana to Miami, and how Lena keeps her soul at the center of everything she creates.
El piano es mi casa, es mi hogar, es todo para mí… cuando algo está mal, yo me siento al piano y todo se arregla.
El éxito es que tu ser no cambie… que la gente que te conoce de verdad te aguante, y poder dárselo a la gente también.
In this episode, we discuss:
– Growing up in a matriarchy of Cuban music
– From classical piano to composing and singing
– Emigrating through Canada, Venezuela and Miami
– Being discovered by Alejandro Sanz and signing with Warner Music
– Playing La Lupe in the film La Mala
– Her new singles honoring Celia Cruz and her grandmother
