Sagt og skrevet om bandet:


" AHI NAMA "

Cubanos De Verdad

 

- is a band formed by Cubans living in Norway.

 

Many salsa bands in northern Europe are formed by locals ( non-latinos ) musicians, ethusiasts and fans of the latin / cuban culture and music.  AHI NAMA is the opposite: The band is based on who the musicians from Cuba want to play with, and who expresses their feel and groove the most.

 

The core musically is the co-operation between Luison Medina, from Pinar Del Rio, Cuba, and the pianist / composer/ arranger Haakon Graf.

Graf has 30-somtehing years of experience from jazz, funk, Brazilian and Latin music. Graf has toured Brazil, Japan, USA and Europe and played with Airto Moreira & Flora Purim, the Brazilian couple who has been involved with the top league of contemporary crossover musicians.

 

The Cubans came to Graf as a result of his rhythmic sense and harmonic taste combined with an open mind and respect for their traditions and culture.

The result is a deep groove, sensual harmonies and funky afrocuban music that might be alot like the best Timba bands of today: Klimax, Issac Delgado, Manolito Y Su Trabuco etc.
