Good day dear readers and blog followers !

Today I’m glad to present you a wonderful concert of NG La Banda, the group credited with making Timba a standalone genre, from the palacio de la salsa in Habana from 1996.

The band plays some of their best songs from these days.
Also, one can clearly hear the difference between the “studio versions” of songs and them being performed live.

I just love it – for me there is nothing like dancing to the wonderful plethora of Afro Cuban sounds live, almost as one with the musicians, which are only a short distance away, on the stage, or as it often happens, on the floor with the people.
For me, this is a great part of the whole phenomenon of Cuban music and Casino dancing.

Disfruten !
