Be prepared to hear something completely different from Cuba. They sing passionate melodies, harmonies and richly textured arrangements with jubilant movement and deep spirit. The Choir's Cuban name ‘Desandann' means literally ‘descendants' and they tell the stories of their Haitian ancestors who came to Cuba to work in the plantations.
"Entrancing, exquisite, unlike any other music show" The Scotsman
