Havana Return is a bountiful collaboration between Cuban dancer Cruz Vazquez Borges and 8-piece Caribe on Friday January 29th at Mullumbimby Ex-Services Club. Caribe’s Havana Return crafts Cuban traditional and classic music in a contemporary framework resulting in a show that is unique and fresh. Seeing Caribe live is a communal experience incorporating chants and percussive elements in a show that is engaging and entertaining for wallflowers and hipshakers alike.
The constant push and pull between powerful percussion and stunning melodies creates a dynamic tension that draws you in and invites you to dance. The percussion and rhythm section set up a crackling, thunderous bed for Cruz to move with and the group to solo over. Their enthusiasm and raw spontaneity is impossible to resist.
Dancer: Cruz Vazquez Borges
Musicians: Juan Carlos Allende and Steve Marin – percussion, Lee McIver-trpt, Gai Bryant-alto & soprano saxes, Tim Clarkson-tenor sax, Jacob Parkes-bone, Josh Sploc-bass and Daniel Pliner-piano.
