Mezcla - Akimba

Mezcla (meaning "mixture") is one of the most exciting and influential fusion bands in Cuba, mixing authentic Afro-Cuban rhythms with Jazz and Rock. Recorded live at the famous La Zorra y el Cuervo Jazz club in Havana in January 2002, "Akimba!" is Mezcla's first "Jazz" album since it's birth in 1985. One of the group's supporters is the legendary Carlos Santana, the spearhead of Latin Rock, who stated in an interview that Mezcla was his favorite band from Cuba. This CD will appeal to fans of Santana, Weather Report, Gonzalo Rubeicaba and Chucho Valdes.
