On Friday, February 10, 2017 Calle Real kicked off the 2017 tour season with a sold-out concert at Fasching in Stockholm. Tonight they play the new DR Koncerhuset in Copenhagen. From the intimacy of Fasching in Stockholm to a 1000-person venue with a big stage. Wish I could catch the concert tonight. Calle Real has more planned for the spring as well as some dates left to confirm. Click here for the confirmed dates and check back because there is more to come and we'll publish dates as soon as they are confirmed.

Led by Cuban trombonist Andrés Fernández, the CuJazz Ensemble is a new musical project that brings together talented Costa Rican musicians, receiving the cubop legacy of greats like Dizzy Gillespei, Chino Pozo, Frank Emilio Flynn and Machito.

Two cultures united by the same musical language exposing their experiences with a universal approach.

The Cujazz ensemble combines Andrés Fernández's original compositions with jazz standards from the 1940s, sprinkled with influences from Afro-Cuban jazz, bebop, cooljazz, modern jazz, plus elements of Latin American music and the Caribbean.

Danceable, intellectual, full of chants and colors that immerse you in the journey of a musician who was born in Cuba and has enriched his language throughout the world.
