These men from Cuba play the Son, Salsa, Boleros, Chachacha and Latin Jazz with magnificent solo’s on tres, violin, piano and percussion. Original arrangements.
The repertoire is varied, no arrangements
from the old school and none of the themes
that everyone plays. So no Chan Chan, no
Son de la Loma, no Guantanamera and
certainly not El Cuarto Tula.

Popular Cuban dance music. A mix of various rhythms with a special “tumbao” (which has the exact cadence of the Son, the characteristic  rhythm of constant sounds which separate de Cubans from the rest of the world and HAVANA because this is the Cuban capital city where all the Cuban soneros from all over the island gather to make their first appearance as a musical group. Tumbao Habana made their debut on December 29, 1997 at the renowned Tropicana..

Salsa/Timba and a tremendous show on stage.  The public want to get closer  to the stage so they can see all that is going on.

Sintesis

FORMATION OF 6 MUSICIANS

Ethno-fusion mixed with elements of Afro-Cuban roots defines the style of this group.

Headed by Carlos Alfonso, the group SINTESIS, had arisen almost  for two decades, is one of  the Cuban contemporary music's emblems and, according to numerous specialists, SINTESIS constitute the best band in rock-fusion of the Cuban island

Among the most avant-garde musical sonorities of the island it is without doubt SINTESIS  that sets up its own expressive path, in which the contemporary takes from the traditional and the classical, to create the mixture of rhythm, sound and flavor that characterizes most of the Cuban musical productions.
