Mezcla has been a part of the sound-track of the Cuban music scene for the past twenty-five years. When at home in Cuba they perform regularly at Havana's premier jazz club La Zorra y el Cuervo and the Havana Jazz Festival (Jazz Plaza). The ensemble has constantly reinvented itself, highlighting it's members' musical strengths and interests. A multigenerational ensemble, Mezcla brings together several veteran masters with some the best of  young jazz players on the scene today.

In 1993 Carlos Santana said Mezcla was “the cleanest, freshest water I have ever tasted”.  They have a number of recordings under their belt including “Cantos” (with Lázaro Ros) and “¡Akimba!” (2003 Khaeon). Their latest CD was released in January 2010 on the Zoho label and is entitled “See You in C-U-B-A.”

“I'll See You in Cuba is an extraordinary celebration

of Cuba's dance and song. It is a fiercely vivid

account of a culture infused with the most

electrifying elements of Afro-Caribbean heritage.

As a musical odyssey it holds its own with the very

best of Irakere and the Buena Vista Social Club.”
