Biography

In an inimitable way, the international ensemble blends the melancholy of the Cape Verdean Islands with a generous portion of Cuban rumba, salsa and adventurous jazz.

 

The result: 100% CaboCubaJazz - both the listener and the dancer are taken on a journey where desire, passion, subtlety and musical fire alternate. 

 

CaboCubaJazz performed in Canada, Thailand, Cuba, Germany, Finland, Israel, Austria, Belgium, Malaysia, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Norway and in The Netherlands.Highlights: Havana Jazz Festival, Penang Jazz Festival, Borneo Jazz & North Sea Jazz Festival.
