ASERE In Concert 31 October 2008

Groundbreaking Cuban band Asere is a group of young musicians who came together to play traditional Cuban son (roots of salsa). Their career took off when, on visiting Cuba in 1996, the Colombian singer Totó la Momposina came across this new band and was immediately struck by their energy, rich songwriting and powerful delivery. Soon after, Asere recorded their debut album 'Cuban Soul' live in an old radio theatre in Habana.

Asere's superb interpretation of Cuba's musical traditions has produced a creative repertoire that's both deeply respectful of their Cuban heritage but also has an exciting contemporary edge of its own, blessed by inventive songwriting and a soulful groove, building fresh sound for a new generation. Since 1998, Asere have performed constantly across Europe (including more than 100 shows in the UK) wowing audiences with their dynamic show and infectious energy.
The band performs playing an exciting range of instruments including bongos, congas, cajón cowbell, timbale, claves, maracas AND MORE!

So come and dance to the rhythms of son or just listen to the formidable skills of these world-class musicians.
