Welcome to Havanesque, an immersive experience, placing the audience in the center of the greatest time in the history of Cuban music. A colorful take by Cuban pianists, The Alonso Brothers, on the classics of the 1930s through the 1960s; featuring original arrangements in a variety of styles -- from the seductive melodies of the bolero, son and danzón, to the exotic rhythms of the mambo, cha-cha, and conga. With fresh and surprising renditions of familiar favorites like Bernstein's "Mambo" from West Side Story and "Oye Cómo Va" by the legendary Tito Puente. Havanesque celebrates Cuba's diverse culture and rich history.
