DESCRIPTION:
SKETCHES of CUBA - After my first visit to Cuba in Jan 2014, I was thrilled to have been invited back to perform all over Cuba as well as taking part of the prestigious Leo Brouwer Festival in Habana. With the help of Marihue Fong I had the pleasure to put together a Cuban super-band and the privilege to perform in the most prestigious venues in Cuba. I can't describe what an amazing experience that was! This video clip is about a casual enjoyable afternoon jamming with virtuoso Maikel Elizarde playing the Tres, the amazing Eduardo Quintana on Percussion and the very talented Sandra Aguero on Electric Bass, just before making our way to perform at the Sala Teatro El Mejunje in Santa Clara with top singer Lucimila Rodriguez.
I would like to thank the following people for making this journey an amazing and unforgettable experience for me: Pachi, Lya, Eugenio Chaves, Leo Brouwer, Eduardo Martin, Senen for filming, my daughter Maya Forcione for the Editing and countless people whom I do not remember their names... MUCHAS GRACIAS! Antonio xx PS - Plenty of amazing footage of CUBA to follow..watch this space. www.antonioforcione.com
