Cuba's Charanga Habanera rocked the Conga Room

June 3, 2011 – An extraordinary show last night at the Conga Room at LA Live with Cuba’s David Calzado y su Charanga Habanera.

The 17-piece band was an army of energy and sound performing in front of a full house that knew that the chance to see this pride of Cuba could not be missed.

Men so professional in their trade they can jump from one instrument to the next without missing a beat, and men aware that their looks are part of the Charanga Habanera experience, were unstoppable for close to two hours.  There was music, dance, hats, shirts on and off, dark glasses at midnight, all of it, and it was fabulous!
