Today at Karl Marx Theater in Havana, Buena Fe begin the 3-day celebration of the release of their 9th studio album "Sobreviviente". Just four hours after they went on sale, tickets were sold out for all three concerts. The new album incudes collaboration with Silvio Rodriguez on the track "La tempestad", which has already been released as a video clip. Also guesting on the album are Luna Manzanares, Frank Delgado and Vincent Alejandro Trigo of D'CoraSon, who also contruíbuted to the arrangements.

If you can't make the concerts in Cuba to pick up a hardcopy, the digital album is on sale starting today at the usual digital retailers and streaming sites such as iTunes and Spotify . The physical album will go on sale internationally March 31st at international on-line sellers. You can pre-order the physical CD at Target and Amazon now.  I am listening to the digital album now but already pre-ordered the hardcopy. I am excited just to see the full CD sleeve, because the artwork is by the famous Cuban artist Roberto Fabelo .

Buena Fe will also hold a mega-concert on March 17th at the University of Havana stadium before embarking on a national tour from the end of March throughout April. In May they will hold three concerts in Canada: May 5 - Toronto at Opera House Toronto, May 6 - Montreal at South Beach, and May 7 - Vancouver at Russian Hall .

The album contains eleven tracks including updated versions of the four songs that they released as demos previously. Although Aisar has a long list of hits that he wrote during his 10 years as Musical Director of Elito Revéy su Charangón, he chose to use a new material for El Expresso de Cuba to define the band as a completely new project. He sees their repertoire as a compendium of all expressions of Cuban popular dance music with lyrics that reflect the way of life of Cubans.

Track list:
Llego el expresso
La manteca
Cuando beso tu boca
El son del dinero
Tu me propones
Ahora es cuando es
Amor oculto
El patio
No me canso
La tía
El solar

Aisar y El Expresso de Cuba just celebrated their first anniversary on January 21 and the band still has all the original members, despite the high level of turnover in general in Cuban orchestras. He attribuites his to a strong sense of family among the bandmembers. You can catch them live in Havana 6 times a month. They have the following standing gigs: Wednesdays at El Diablo Tun Tun 5-9pm, matinee at Café Cantante the first and third Friday of each month from 4-8pm, the second and fourth Friday of each month from 9pm-2am in the Salon Tablao of the Gran Teatro de La Habana, and the second Saturday of each month from 10pm-2am in Los Jardines del 1830 with the Rueda de Casino project.
