Rene Alvarez (Musical Director, composer, arranger, trombonist, pianist and vocalist).

The new generation of the Cuban Musicians - uniting in a new project, Havana Latin Fun (H.L.F.)  Playing authentic Cuban song, the intoxicating fusion of Spanish and African rhythms that gave rise to salsa.  This line-up have the musical ammunition to tackle even the most reluctant dancer.  The band features a contingent of young musicians who are all passionate about maintaining their heritage and the traditions of the genre, continuing the Buena Vista legacy that put Cuban music back on the map in 1997.  But they also give this irresistible music a contemporary edge, bringing their audiences a truly sensational, authentically Latin music experience.

Playing live, they are absolutely tremendous..... if you don't start to move to this there is no hope!  Extraordinary music to the soul and heart, as well as to the ears.
