Grooving afro-jazz from Cuba

This Afro-Cuban collective is a true all-star band that fuses Afrobeat, funk, and Latin jazz to perfection. With virtuoso piano playing, swinging horns and a relentlessly grooving rhythm section, they are bursting with energy. Like "a seven-horse engine in the service of a new Cuban groove".

After a long European tour, they present their second album "Carousel" - exhilarating, virtuosic and completely open to encounters. From a free jazz introduction with a cha cha cha à la Thelonious Monk to a foray into classical and funky Latin jazz. Everything is possible.
