Yambu – Cuban son and salsa
Son
Yambu are a five-piece band of some of the best younger Cuban
musicians. They play the red hot rhythms of authentic 'Son Cubano' -
the essential Afro-Cuban music that originated in the streets of
eastern Cuba at the turn of the last century. Son is an intoxicating
fusion of Spanish and African rhythms and is the root of all salsa
music. Formed in 2011, Son Yambu features a new generation of
musicians who are all passionate about maintaining the traditions of
the genre, continuing the Buena Vista legacy that put Cuban music
back on the map about twenty years ago. Highlights since then have
included playing at the world famous Glastonbury Festival, The
Manchester Jazz Festival and The Cheltenham Music Festival - to name
but a few!
The
UK's very own Buena Vista band….absolutely tremendous…. if you
don't start to move to this there is no hope for you! Extraordinary
music
