You might think it’s a new cocktail, a mix of Martini and Mai Tai, and the music of this unusual trio around the Cuban singer sounds just as delicious as the thought of it.
Latin, jazz, Son Cubano, salsa, raggaton – this charismatic singer has already performed all of these in her unique style. But since her grandfather immigrated from Jamaica, just 80 miles from Cuba, we’re happy to also interpret mento, ska, rocksteady, and reggae with her.
plays guitar and piano and sings songs by the Eagles, Police, Beatles, Elvis, and Bob Marley—music by heroes who were long dead or disbanded when he was born in the mid-90s. He certainly lives up to his surname.
As Mr. Bassman, he provides the rhythmic foundation with his deep doo-wop vocals, mostly bare-handed drums, and creates minimalist, imaginative arrangements!
MayTiNi shreds, rhumbahs, skanks, and shakes with such unmistakable harmony that you not only enjoy listening but also savor the fun these three individualists spread, but also love to sway along…if not even dance!
