New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Homegrown talent Conjunto Guantánamo is among the artists and bands vying for a nomination in The 17th annual Independent
Music Awards (the IMAs), the influential platform for established and emerging artists from around the globe, with their latest single, 'Cuchillo para la Piña Cubana.' If nominated the "ambassadors of Cuban folklore" could be among this year's Winners announced during The IMA ceremony in the summer of 2019 at the Symphony Space Performing Arts Center in New York City.
