Tumbao Habana

Tumbao Habana med låta Amanezco.

In December 2007 Tumbao Habana celebrated their 10th anniversary. The group was founded in 1997 by director and keyboardist Pascualito Cabrejas. During that time they have earned themselves a place in the Havana timba scene with weekly concerts at the EGREM venues.

Pascualito has a facility for finding new talent, and Tumbao Habana has given many young musicians and singers their first taste of the Casa de la Música circuit as well as foreign tours, such as their regular trips to Peru. The band consists of piano, keyboard, bass, timbal with kick drum, congas, güiro and a very diverse horn section featuring two trumpets, trombone and sax. The front line has three singers, although in concert Pascualito occasionally leaves the keyboard to join on coro.

Tumbao Habana has released two studio CDs, Tumbao Habana (2000) and Ese Huevo Quiere Sal (2002), and they plan to record another in 2008. Their studio CDs are a mix of styles including timba, salsa, reggae-salsa, orchestrated rumba,
mambo-rap and covers of traditional Cuban songs.

Azucar Negra: Toque Natural

"Out comes the new Azucar Negra, led by the great Cuban composer and bandleader, Leonel Limonta, featuring a killing new woman singer Aylin Dalleras. The band hasn’t released an album in a couple of years, and here’s the real deal, hard timba dance music formed by all night dance shows, with the recording a studio version, shortened a bit, of what happens live. Just check out the first tune, "Toque Natural," which spends nearly 5 minutes — and ends 10 minutes to early — working through a maze of structural changes, rhythms that move around, riffs, breakdowns, coros, with Dalleras’s voice blowing like a trumpet over it all. Then the next tune, "El Picaron," with another great singer Lester Ciarreta, stepping through the thick coros, ventures into rap towards the end, with a wicked rhythm section churning up a storm. And if anybody wondered about Limonta’s songwriting skill, check out the third track, "La Palabra," featuring Dalleras, which opens with a long discussion about a word that’s only identified, finally, in the coro, dragging a listener/dancer into the music. The fantastic piano breaks, help, too, and her almost desperate improvisations — listen to her sing “Mi vida…” — for some beauty. Anyway, here it is, modern Cuban music, in all its precise glory.
Highly Recommended."
