| Performance Notes | Tumbao Tivoli is a London based Cuban quartet with the authentic sound from Santiago de Cuba.
The strong percussive sound (both Leo Duany and Armando Iglesias started as percussionists) led to the name Tumbao Tivoli, Tumbao meaning beat and Tivoli their Santiago neighbourhood that gave them their groove.
Their set consists mostly of Leo Duanys modern punchy compositions drawn on 'son', 'son montuno', 'changui', 'guaracha', 'afrocuban' and Modern Cuban styles, all played on Cuban traditional instruments.
Tumbao Tivoli are guaranteed to fire up the hearts and feet with their compulsive beats and Latin steps. |
