Caribe Havana Return

Cuban Jazz, Dance, Chanting, Story Telling and Participation.

Caribe’s Havana Return crafts Cuban traditional and classic forms in a contemporary framework resulting in unique and fresh music.

Seeing Caribe live is a communal experience incorporating chants and percussive elements deeply rooted in rumba and Afro-Cuban religions.

The constant push and pull between powerful percussion and stunning melodies creates a dynamic tension that draws you in and invites you to dance. This bountiful collaboration with Cuban dancer Adrian Medina is engaging and entertaining for wallflowers and hip-shakers alike.
