It was Yissy García and Bandancha's first trip to the Bay Area and they showed why they are one of the hottest new bands in Havana's music scene. I attended the last of three performances in the area (one show at Cafe Stritch in San Jose. Club Uh in Oakland and the last at Ashkenaz in Berkeley).

DJ Avotcja from radio station KPFA introduced the group

Bandancha's music is a danceable, funky, hip blend of Cuban popular music, funk, hip hop and jazz, driven by the outstanding drumming of Yissy, great soloing by all, tasty DJing by Jigüe and hip arrangements
