Cuban Band London

Cuban Band London plays authentic Cuban son, an exhilarating blend of Spanish and African rhythms that evolved into salsa. They infuse this irresistible music with a modern twist, offering their audiences a truly sensational, genuine Latin music experience, guaranteed to turn any event into a fiesta!

The Cuban Band offers a flexible lineup that can be customized to fit any occasion. Performing as a traditional Cuban septeto, the band features 7 musicians - lead vocalist, trés (Cuban mandolin), guitar, bass, trumpet, and two percussionists.

The group is having an incredibly exciting year with an Arts Council Tour underway, a new album in the works, and numerous amazing festivals already confirmed, including Glastonbury, The Manchester Jazz Festival, and the Rainforest World Music Festival in Borneo – to name just a few!

Since their debut album 'La Maravilla' received rave reviews (**** Songlines, The Evening Standard) at the end of 2012, the band has gone from strength to strength. Last year's highlights included performances at The Cork Jazz Festival, The Shetland Folk Festival, The Africa Oye Festival, and a live session for Sean Rafferty on BBC Radio 3.

On vocals and minor percussion, Yuri is an accomplished international singer with a dazzling personality, having performed with the likes of Cachaito of the Buena Vista Social Club.

Red-hot rhythms – straight from the streets of Santiago de Cuba.
