World-renowned Afro-Cuban jazz band ¡Cubanismo! is led by trumpeter Jesús Alemañy, a Cuban expat from London who returned to Cuba and recruited some of the best Cuban musicians from Cuba and abroad to create a band that celebrates Afro-Cuban dance rhythms. Alemañy’s fiery trumpet playing and a powerful percussion section create a sound that is uniquely Cuban and utterly authentic. As Cuban writer Enrique Fernandez explained, “Dictators, imperialists, revolutions, embargoes, capitalism, socialism, death, nobody, nobody can stop the music.” ¡Cubanismo! is a journey to the dancing heart of Latin American music. A 15-piece orchestra of Cuban all-stars performs the bright tropical explosions of Cuba’s most popular dance music. Led by Jesús Alemañy, the brilliant young trumpeter formerly of Sierra Maestra, the band features the famous conguero "Tata" Güines and several stars from leading Cuban dance bands, including Irakere and others. Together they perform an irresistible mix of free dance melodies, traditional rumba, cha-cha, son and lesser-known danzón and pa'ca rhythms, composed by several members of Alemañy's band and arranged in the descarga (jam) tradition developed by Cuban jazz musicians of the 1940s.
