León Fernández, a distinguished singer, musician, composer, and entrepreneur, has recently launched EnClavedeFa, a magazine celebrating musical artistry and excellence. This new publication pays homage to the essence of high-quality music and the dedication of musicians who live and breathe their craft. It is part of the distinguished portfolio of dlb Ediciones, a company that Fernández has led with vision and passion, successfully expanding its reach and influence across cultural and creative sectors.
The mission behind EnClavedeFa goes beyond simply highlighting famous names; it seeks to delve into the world of genuine musical artistry, spotlighting both established masters and emerging talents who have made a lasting impact on the musical landscape. The magazine stands as a beacon for those who appreciate the depth, skill, and soul that true musicians bring to their art. From the timeless compositions of jazz legends and the sweeping movements of symphonic masters to the evocative rhythms of indigenous sounds, EnClavedeFa provides a space for genres and musicians that have often been overshadowed in today’s commercialized music scene.
In recent years, mainstream music has been dominated by genres that prioritize digital production and heavily rely on AI technology. While innovation is valuable, these advancements have sometimes pushed more traditional forms of music into the background. EnClavedeFa aims to counter this trend by celebrating musicians and genres that demand rigorous training, natural talent, and a deep understanding of musical heritage. The publication honors jazz, symphonic music, indigenous rhythms, and other genres that stand as testaments to the richness of human creativity. For Fernández, this magazine represents a return to authenticity, honoring a time when becoming a musician required years of dedicated practice and study, and when live performances depended solely on the artist’s talent and skill.
The magazine’s title, EnClavedeFa, is itself a tribute to the bass clef—a symbol close to Fernández’s heart as a master instrumentalist specializing in bass clef instruments such as the bass and tuba. Through this publication, Fernández seeks to bring attention to these often-overlooked instruments, reminding readers of their fundamental role in the fabric of musical compositions. The bass, with its deep and resonant tones, serves as the foundation for many musical genres, providing depth and richness that shape the sound of entire compositions.
Fernández’s vision for EnClavedeFa also includes a focus on musicians who embody the spirit of “old school” artistry. These are artists who, unlike many contemporary performers, gained recognition and respect through relentless dedication, honed skills, and an ability to captivate audiences without relying on digital enhancements. Fernández sees this approach as increasingly rare in a world where technology often overshadows talent. By highlighting these “old school” musicians, he hopes to inspire a new generation to value and pursue authentic musical training, upholding the standards and rigor that have defined music for centuries.
The debut issue of EnClavedeFa features an exclusive cover story on Ivette Falcón, a Cuban cellist with a career spanning over 25 years. Falcón is not only a revered musician but also a personal friend of Fernández, sharing a long history with him that dates back to their youth.
Known for her technical skill and emotional depth, Falcón embodies the values that EnClavedeFa seeks to promote: commitment, passion, and excellence. Her story is one of perseverance, as she navigated the challenges of a classical musician’s path, bringing her talent to international stages and earning respect within the classical music community.
In its effort to reach audiences beyond its origin, EnClavedeFa is embarking on a campaign to establish itself in the United States—a market renowned for its discerning taste and appreciation of well-crafted music. Leading this initiative is Maykel Pérez, the Director of Marketing and Advertising at dlb Ediciones. Pérez has developed a strategic plan to introduce the magazine to American audiences, positioning it as a sophisticated and relevant addition to the U.S. cultural landscape. His approach includes collaborations with music academies, cultural institutions, and media outlets that value the magazine’s commitment to celebrating excellence in music.
With EnClavedeFa, Fernández and his team at dlb Ediciones and Grupo Leferas™ aim to build a community that appreciates and celebrates the highest standards of musical artistry. The launch of this magazine is not just a new venture; it is a tribute to musicians around the world who have dedicated their lives to mastering their craft, and a call to readers to recognize and cherish this dedication. The team celebrates the arrival of EnClavedeFa, congratulating Fernández for bringing such an innovative and necessary project to the world of music.
In a world where digitalization often takes precedence over artistry, EnClavedeFa is a reminder of the value of human talent, rigorous training, and the irreplaceable essence of live music. The magazine stands as both a tribute to the art of music and an invitation to all who believe in preserving its integrity for future generations. With a clear mission and a dedicated team, EnClavedeFa is set to become a staple for music enthusiasts who seek quality, depth, and authenticity.
