Elegance, virtuosity, and Caribbean feeling: the triad of virtues that characterizes their concerts. "The people ... enjoy the unusual, upbeat combination of Cuban cha-cha-chá with elements of funk, soul and, of course, jazz. And they are fascinated by their explosive yet intricate playing style ..." wrote Lorenz Erl in the Donaukurier about the band's concert in the Audi-Forum in Ingolstadt in April 2012. It was the band's first public appearance. A gig in the BIX jazz club in Stuttgart followed in November, a live recording of which is included as a promo CD. The seven musicians really get off on their groove, sending out sparks that immediately ignite the audience--which is why they decided to record a studio CD in 2013 and are planning many more concerts. "Latin is out," claims the market. But this band proves that the condemned always live longer than expected. Every one of the band's concerts resuscitates this brand of jazz, which filled stadiums and conquered hit parades in the 60s and 70s. "Beauty never dies" says its leader, Roberto SantamarÃa, with conviction. The Cuban, a nephew of "Conga King" Mongo SantamarÃa, has lived in Germany since 2011. There he has assembled a seven-member international ensemble that thrills both jazz lovers and Latin fans.
