MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE -- FELIZ NAVIDAD

A new Alexander Abreu & Havana D' Primera photo gallery is up (all photos by Tom Ehrlich). Havana D' Primera played to two sold out shows at Yoshi's San Francisco on November 24, 2012. Although there was some problems with the sound, HDP played two inspired sets and they lived up to their reputation. Click on any pic to view the gallery...

Today we received notice of this last-minute change for the upcoming SOBs Havana D' Primera shows. El Charanguero Mayor Tirso Duarte replaces Charanga Habanera at SOBs. Ironically, for some this is a much better pairing of talents. Be sure to say hello to our Chicago correspondent Bill Tilford as he is covering the event now.

Important notice for Charanga Habanera fans: refunds are being processed so call SOBs at 212.243.4940 with your request.
