Brandon Miguel Valdivia is a Nicaraguan-Canadian percussionist and composer who’s played in a bunch of Toronto bands. These days, he records as Mas Aya, and he sometimes collaborates with his partner, the Colombian-Canadian singer-songwriter Lido Pimienta. In 2021, Pimienta guested on the Mas Aya track “Tiempo Ahora.” Today, Mas Aya announces a new album, and the first single is another team-up with Pimienta.
