La Charanga Habanera

One of Cuba's hotest and most popular young dance groups, la Charanga Habanera got together in 1988, when a group of 10 young graduates of the Escuela Nacional de Arte and other conservatories got together to do Cuban music from the 40s and 50s and got a gig in Monaco.

In 1992, David Calzado, the group's director, began a new format: piano, keyboard,
pailas, congas, 2 violins, 2 trumpets, altosax, flute y two singers, to do a more modern sound.

In 1992 la Charanga worked in el Boulevard de los Sueños de Viña del Mar, Chile. En 1993 they traveled to Europa for carnavil in Helsinki and in Tenerife and Las Palmas.

In l996 they did an extensive European tour to present their new CD: Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, the UK, Holland, Germany and Sweden.

In 1997, they were punished with a 6 months suspension of their right to travel when a singer made as if to bare his butt on stage and another member was thought to have asked the audience if they liked marijuana.
