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

"The sweet harmonic sounds and melodies from the Creole Choir of Cuba brought audience members to their feet with tears of joy - spiritually uplifting and a must-see for the whole family!" The Voice
