Clarissa y las Diablitas

Seven ladies, all of them professional musicians , took part in the International "Plaza Jazz Festival" in Havanna, Cuba in 2000. Personally invited by Chucho Valdés, founder of the festival, this "Lady-septett" filled their hand-luggage with their latest CD "Todo es Meloso" and set the place alight. The "devil herself" and leader, Clarissa Hechavarria, who had already caused a stir among previous Jazzscene audiences, was one of the very few invited to perform with old-master Frank Emilio Flynn at last year ' s Jazz Festival in Havanna. Inspired by cuban sound and rhythm, Clarissa founded the Lady-Salsa-Orchestra "LAS DIABLITAS". The "She-Devils" astound audiences worldwide with their professional performance and hot stage show. Playing original arrangements and compositions, they have established their own style, mixing Salsa, traditional cuban soun d and Jazz with their own diabolic rhythms. Screaming horns, groovy rhythm-section and the heart-rending vocals, led by frontwoman CLARISSA, make this band an unforgettable sound experience . After a creative break of two years, in 2002 , the Diablitas were again invited to the Plaza jazz festival in Havanna, Cuba . Now they present a brandnew programme.
