Cafe Cubana

About Me

Cafe Cubana formed in September 2006 off the back of a college project. After realising we all enjoyed the style of music and the songs we were playing we thought keeping the band on was a very good move. We played our first gig in Jenny Watts in Bangor to a full bar of Salsa dancers, and is where we got our dvd filmed. We are currently looking for more gigs to promote our music and hopefully an agent if we get lucky.
We are a Cuban band playing traditional Cuban music from Salsa to Samba, Cha-Cha to some slight Flamenco with the incredible ability to get the shyest of people's feet tapping!

Lord Mayors parade Belfast.

Well only hours ago Cafe Cubana took part in the Lord Mayor's parade in Belfast city centre. If you happened to catch it we all hope you had a great time. I can speak for the whole band in saying that...
