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!
