Here’s a note from Jay Danley, who played the tres for Son Ache for years.
“I just wanted to let you know that Los Caballeros Del Son will be playing every Wednesday in February at The Local Pub, 396
Roncesvalles ave.
We have an incredible brand new cd for sale and we are really looking forward to the shows.”

Were you there at the great Cuban timba nights by Julio at Gladstone Hotel? The band was brilliant at generating the feeling of Havana dance nights, but they could have used a little more practice time. They were called Black Market.
Well the good news is, they have had the time to hone the sound… and they are at Lula now, with a great sound system. And so, you need to go see them, the band is called Changuy Havana.
12 great Cuban musicians offer an orchestra with a new latin flavour and a repertoire based on the most popular Latin dance rhythms like salsa, merengue, cumbia, bachata and son.
One of TO’s great NEW badass Cuban bands, these guys grab the crowd and make them dance!

Jane Bunnett & the Spirits of Havana
Special Guests — The Heavyweights Brass Band
The World Of Jane Bunnett Tour 2012
Friday January 27, 2012
Tickets: $32.50 Advance/$35 Door (includes HST)
Performance: 8:30pm
Click to Request a reservation
2012 is going to be an exciting and very special year for one of Canada’s most celebrated Jazz artists: Jane Bunnett.
Back In February 1982, Jane and her partner Larry Cramer landed in Santiago de Cuba (on the Eastern side of Cuba) and had no idea that the next 30 years would bring them international acclaim for her distinctly original collaborations with some of the greatest musicians in the culturally rich country of Cuba.
As one of Canada’s most celebrated musicians, Jane has garnered 6 Juno Awards, 2 Grammy nominations and a host of other International awards recognizing her music and her mastery of the soprano saxophone and the flute.
Admin note: The Spirits of Havana is the name of the group of Cuban musicians who accompany Jane Bunnett on a given occasion, in this case you’d have to guess it’d be essentially the same band as will be playing with Jane the next evening at Lula Lounge — none other than Son Aché… those who want a good view of the band and no distractions will favor Hugh’s Room, those who have to dance when they here this band play, will flock to Lula Lounge !
