Mezcla has been one of Cuba’s hottest bands since it’s birth in 1985. The name, “Mezcla” means mixture. Cuban jazz, Afro Cuban rumba, Cuban rock and son, or what the world sometimes calls salsa are mixed with what Cubans call “new song”, or “intelligent songs” in a very unique way that has evolved and grown every year since.

Mezcla has toured the world and recorded a number of albums and hit songs and participated in Jazz festivals, Rumba festivals, Rock festivals, New Song festivals, Latin-American Music festivals, World Music festivals, and has been part of the sound track of the last 20 years of the Cuban musical world. Mezcla is a seven piece band: guitar, piano, bass, drums, trumpet, sax and Afro Cuban percussion, (including “batá” drums). Their repertoire consists of original compositions and songs by Cuba’s most interesting young song writers and innovative compositions in the traditional Afro Cuban styles, alongside Yoruba chants over 500 years old.
