De Havana a Sydney

video

Well it's 9.16pm on a Tuesday night in Havana. If I were still there, I would be walking away from Casa de la Musica in Miramar right now, towards 31 to get a máquina back to Centro. I would have a spring in my step after just having seen Havana D'Primera, who have taken over Pupy's regular Tuesday matinee while they are in Europe (and preparing for Europe, obviously, as they haven't left yet).
Instead I'm in bed in Sydney. It's cold, and I've got a cold. But I have the video I took to console me.
Here is one of the new parts that has been added to Mi Música, which Alexander previously recorded with Grupo Dansón, and which Havana D'Primera are making their own, recorded at the Capri's Salon Rojo on May 28.

Listen to the beautiful coro at 2:54:

Tumba la caña
Anda ligero
Mira que viene mayoral
Sonando el cuero

Alexander's gorgeous coros are one of the many delightful things about his live gigs (I hope they also make it onto the disc).

More video and photo galleries of the various gigs I went to will be going up over the next week or so.
