Elito Revé y Su Charangón are back for round 2 of their Anniversary Tour in Europe. They will be appearing at a number of important fall Cuban festivals in eight countries, kicking off in Stuttgart, Germany at Festival  de Cuba on Friday the 14th and appearing in my hometown of Stockholm Sweden Saturday the 15th at Festival  A Lo Cubano . As always El Charangón de Elito Revé is a favorite of Cuban music fans, and the strength of their latest album "60 Aniversario" proves that the Charangón will be on top for a long time.

Click here to find a concert near you! I leave you with a little taste from "60 Aniversario" - "El Peluquero" - funny and a bit risqué, and as always great for dancing.
