BABESA CUBANA
Greek-Latin fusion band
Greece has always been captivated by the exoticism of South America. From the 1940s onwards so many Greek songs are coloured and driven by the rhythms and sounds of Brazil, Cuba, Argentina and the other beautiful countries of this continent. Babesa Cubana takes Greek songs and “gives them back" to their Latin roots. Fronted by Latin jazz singer Andria Antoniou (aka Andria), a group of musicians from Greece and South America bring their fresh takes on classic Greek songs coloured with the infectious rhythms of Latin America and the depth and passion of Greek language.
Line up:
Andria Antoniou (Cyprus) - voice
Pavlos Carvalho (Brazil/Greece) - bouzouki/cello
Ayoze de Alejandro (Gran Canaria) - percussion
Sara McGuinnness (UK) - piano
Adolfredo Pulido (Venezuela) - double bass
