Music penned by jazz bassist Branko Arnšek.
Half a lifetime as a musical globetrotter has left its mark. The influences on his music range from his Balkan roots to his adopted musical home, Cuba. Reworked and dressed in a contemporary jazz style, these tracks are sure to catchy tunes, despite the modern, fresh jazz!

The musicians don't shy away from complex themes and contemporary jazz music, presenting the listener with a refreshing trio sound.
Cuban Music - From the Habanera to the Mambo
A musical journey through pre-revolutionary Cuba. Music and dance tell of African gods, longings, sensuality, love, and disappointment.
Our musical journey through Cuba's diverse history concludes in 1959 with the overthrow of dictator Fulgencio Batista by Fidel Castro, Camilo Cienfuegos, and Ernesto Guevara. A journey that begins in Africa and Spain. A journey through pre-revolutionary Cuba. Music and dance tell of African gods, the high society at court, Havana's exclusive clubs, and wars of independence.
A Cuban salsa/timba band that has already garnered considerable attention with two albums released so far, and not just in the Latin music scene.
The band currently consists of twelve musicians: three singers, four wind players, three percussionists, and piano and bass.

Saxophone, congas, bongos, piano, and double bass—
this is the "classic" lineup with which The Cuban Latin Band dedicates itself to Latin and Latin jazz.
The musicians are all masters of their instruments.
After Wedeli Köhler's death, Mano and Branko decided to continue making music as a trio with Knebo. Soon, they wanted a wind instrument, and Stefan joined the group. When Knebo started singing, Christoph on drums provided the perfect support. Then, all that was missing was Frank on piano, and their first CD, #ONE, was recorded. Several years have passed since then, leading to some lineup changes. Among others, Felix, Andy, Frank, Branko, and Knebo are now established as the core members (subject to change).
