About Me

A considerable part of the latin hiphop scene doesnt come from Latin America or the USA alone. Also in Europe there are lots of creative talents who cultivate their latin roots in the music they are producing. Just like the Cuban musician and producer Fredy Scull Sanchez a.k.a Habano, who lives and performs in Germany since 1994. Habano was born in Havana, the capital of Cuba. He was taught percussion by Joaquín Pozo, the grandson of the legendary Chano Pozo from the Dizzy Gillespie Band. After Habano came to Hamburg/Germany, he formed the traditional Sol y Son Group and later the latin hiphop trio Puros Habanos. He took part in various music projects, he organized several events on his own and is now living and working as a DJ and MC in Berlin, producing his own music and other artists too. On his first album Made in Cuba, he made a funky fusion of hiphop, RnB and elements of traditional cuban music. A new star revealed in the eurocuban hiphop scene. His second album "Hablas de mi" contains a mix of Latin Hiphop Salsa and Reggaeton
