Formed in 2012, the explosive Los Habaneros are a force to behold on stage. Mixing musical styles from their home in Cuba with the diversity of sounds they encountered when they made New York City their home, Los Habaneros transcend traditional musical genres to create a real fusion that provokes fans into hip-shaking abandon. Labeled the "Best Band in Manhattan" by NPR, the band is comprised of a young generation of Havana-trained musicians. Collectively and individually, they have toured extensively throughout North & South America and Europe.
Introducing the enigmatic Gerardo Contino y Los Habaneros.
The rhythm section: renown bassist John Benitez and drummer Luisito Quintero.
Contino utterly in his element.
Energy that is inescapable.
Fully in the pocket.
Standout pianist Cesar Orozco.
Coming into their own.
Leaving no stone unturned.
Sitting pretty in a sea of red.
Behind the music: T.J. English and Charles Carlini.
