Blues For Yemayá

by Lotz Of Music In Havana

supported by

Florian Arbenz You wanna hear something completely different? Here you go! This recording is a really happening fusion of modal Jazz and cuban folklore.

Of course you have to kind of like the sound of cuban Bata and the songs, but if you're open minded you're in the right spot!

I used to hang with these guys in Havana in the 90s and I can assure you that it's the real deal.

The jazz musicians around Mark Alban Lotz are really great - they go for the Cuban-European trance. Favorite track: Blues For Yemayá.
