With "Symphonic Salsa" the five members of "Klazz Brothers & Cuba Percussion" broaden the dialogue between classic and Cuban music to the corresponding symphonic dimension. The most famous classic melodies and the lively musical joie de vivre of Cuba breathe one breath thanks to the arrangements of Sverre Indris Joner and Tobias Forster. Havana now lies unmistakably on Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" or "On the Beautiful Blue Danube" of Johann Strauss Jr. This throwing wide the portals of sound offers the most astonishing perspectives of the classical evergreens overall. In the famous Habañera, "L'amour est un oiseau rebelle", which Bizet composed for his Carmen to sing, a New Orleans street marching band strides in for the finale. Cuba Percussion spice up the "Hungarian Dance No. 5" of Johannes Brahms with quicksilver improvisations precisely in the style of a classic concerto cadenza. European music tradition with its classic hits along with the Afro-Cuban dance temperament becomes an exciting and stimulating adventure between two cultures and continents.
