CD: To' Mezclao: Hibrid

Put your hands in the air and wind your waist: it’s the sound of young Cuba right now. Includes film of band performing.

To’Mezclao means ‘all mixed up’ in Spanish – an apt name for this new young Cuban pop band, who mix salsa, reggaeton (Cuban style dancehall) , Latin house plus cumbia from Colombia and merengue from Dominican Republic, with soulful singers and conservatoire  musicians playing real instruments, to make great music to dance to. Put your hands in the air and wind your waist: it’s the sound of young Cuba right now.

The name of the album Hibrid not only refers to the mix of styles but also the fact that the CD is audio one side and has a fascinating short film of the band in Cuba on the other side, performing, rehearsing and chilling out together in the countryside. The film is made by the Cuban DJ/band musical director Lyng Chang: a lovely project by UK-based TUMI music.
