Good day dear blog followers, listeners, readers ¡y todos los amantes de la musica Cubana!

Today I present you a young talent from Cuba, Leonardo Diago nad his band, La Nueva Era de Cuba!

This band of well to do young folks from the capital have recently established themselves at the city’s music scene, releasing several compositions in various genres of Cuban music.
The band moves forwards inspired by the idea of bringing together the old, which many today know little of, with the hottest trends of contemporary Cuban music, thus creating a new era of quality and diversity.
As stated on their own page, the band bases its music on the works of such great artists as Benny More, Celia Cruz, Juan Formell, Bebbo Valdes, Elio Reve, Odilio Urfe, Lili Martinez, just to name a few.

Without further ado, let us now listen!
And always remember… ¡sigue disfrutando la musica Cubana!

Good day dear blog readers, followers, y todos los amantes de la musica Cubana !

Today we shall be enjoying a fine Timba composition of Cuban pianist, arranger and songwriter Yoel Diaz, from Holguin, Cuba.

Yoel studied at the Ecole superieure Jose White at Camaguey, and after graduation was the musical director of several traditional Cuban music orchestras.
Moving to Montreal, Canada, in 1997, Yoel quickly integrated in the city’s jazz and Latin music scene, performing at local venues and international festivals alike.

Yoel’s released several albums with different bands, including “Te Llego”, “Encuentros”, “Origen” and “Occasion”… but today’s composition is from his wonderful Timba album, “Desde Mi Casa y Hasta la Habana”, released in 2009 as Yoel Diaz y su Timba.

So, here is the composition!

Today we have some guests from our “second wing”, as the saying goes… a Puerto Rican group called Orquesta La PVC, which plays Timba, Jazz and traditional Cuban music.

The group has been around since 2000, organized at San Juan.
The group released 2 CDs to date, and has been performing all over the island and also around mainland USA.

Today we shall be enjoying a composition from their first CD, Olvidate del Resto, released in 2003.

Here it is!

So, here is our fine composition for today.
