Orquesta Revé - 60th Anniversary Concert

Elito Revé y su Charangón - 60th Anniversary

Tonight at Salon Rosado de la Tropical in Havana, Elito Revé y su Charangón will give a concert to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the charangón. It is also a part of the festivities surrounding Cubadisco 2016, which is appropriately themed Música Bailable this year. I hope our own Bill Tilford is able to attend this event and give us a first-hand account. This is a must-see concert for anyone who is in Havana. Special guests include Juan Carlos Alfonso, Issac Delgado, Mayito Rivera, Mandy Cantero, Paulo FG, Haila, Christian & Rey, David Blanco and Grupo Moncada.

The anniversary concert comes right on the heels of the release of "La salsa tiene mi son", which we have been awaiting for years. You can find it at digital retailers and if you're in Havana I bet they'll be selling in hard-copy at the concert.

Timba.com congratulates Elito and all of the members of the charangón - past and present - for their 60 year anniversary.

David Calzado y su Charanga Habanera start their US tour in Miami on Friday May 20th with a concert at Twelve Club. I haven't seen them live since 2013 and there have been some changes since then such as Andy Fornet joining on timbales and the singer line-up is now Leisdel Gonzales Castillo, David Montes de Oca, Alexis David Zamora, Heikel Valdes and Chico de la Rosa. The tour will also take them to California, Washington State, Texas, New York and New Jersey. Click here to find a concert near you.

Siempre que llueve escampa

Maykel Blanco & Su Salsa Mayor have just released their new video for "Siempre que llueve escampa" - one of my favorite songs from the brilliant album "Que no me quiten la fe" . It is quite funny and the first time the band has done an animated video. Enjoy the video and get ready to catch the band live on their European tour, which begins in Rome on May 20th.

Aisar & El Expresso de Cuba Havana Premier

Aisar Hernandez & El Expresso de Cuba will have their Havana debut tomorrow at 9:00pm in the Salón Juan Formell at El Sauce. The band performed previously this year in Varadero and has been busy with television and radio appearances, but this will be the first chance for the Havana audiences to see the band live. We at Timba.com are very excited to see what Aisar & El Expresso have in store for us. They recently signed an exclusive five-year contract with Bis Music, and we can expect their first CD, "lLlegó el Expresso", to drop soon. If you're in Havana don't miss this historic first concert.
