Habana Café

Salsa, Merengue and Cumbia are the hottest rhythms of the Caribbean.

The experienced band consists of vocal, sax, piano, bass, timbales & conga. There's no other "small" salsa band in Germany with such a broad repertoire of caribbean rhythms like "Habana Café".

The oztstanding quality of the music derives from the international mixture of musicians. "Chuchy", the singer and director, a proud Cuban, is the driving force and soul of the band. He says "Villareno espirituano de la trierra, de la guaracha". (The full flavour of that specific Cuban rhythm).

The group Habana Café garanties hot and danceable Caribbean events.

Orquestra Con Clave

"the volcano of the caribbean"

Orquesta Con clave is a young and dynamic salsaband consisting of a thight rhythm-section, a hot brass-section and tree singers. Most of the band members are born on the sunny island of Curaçao, where they are brought up with Salsa. One of the lead singers was born in the Dominican Republic and he masters the Merengue and Bachata as no other. The other male singer is having great success with his unique interpretations of Cuban Rhythms like Bolero, Son Montuno and Cha-cha-cha. Our female singer, the princess of Salsa, earned her reputation with her interpretations of songs of Salsa queen Celia Cruz. With her exotic dance she adds extra dynamism to the dance show of the singers of Orquesta Con Clave. So, we have a salsa repertoire with a lot of variety.

Yet, we have already been main act on several big festivals in Europe. We are very pleased to meet more enthusiastic dancers and listeners.
