Tande-la
The Creole Choir Of Cuba
Irresistible melodies driven by richly textured harmonies.
The Creole Choir of Cuba are called 'Desandann' in their home country which means 'descendants' and with the songs on their forthcoming album 'Tande-la' (a title which translates as 'listen') they tell the stories of their Haitian ancestors who were brought to Cuba to work in near slave conditions on the sugar and coffee plantations.
Shifting Caribbean rhythms with a very original root bass sound, this is impassioned singing by a unique group celebrating roots, resistance and the irresistible rhythms of life. In the words of the glorious 'Edem Chanté' - Help Us Sing!
"The music itself is joyous and rich...full of amazing harmonies and enough passion to start a small family." G3 Magazine
