Yoruba Andabo was born out of a spontaneous, musical get-together at the Havana harbor in 1961, where a group of dock workers convened to play native West African music and celebrate their Cuban and West African heritage. When the musicians realized they had something unique, they decided to begin performing their music. They first performed in 1985 at the Havana seat of UNEAC, an organization that unites Cuba's professional writers and artists. These performances led to the group being signed to a top local label known as EGREM. With the help of the label and a close working relationship with renowned singer Mercedita Valdes, the group became a sensation. And in 1994, the band of amateur musicians became a real touring musical company under the name Compañía Folkoríco Yoruba Andabo. And over the years, they have continued to have success, recording 11 albums and performing in prestigious venues including the World of Music and Dance in Toronto and the Aaron Davis Hall in New York City. So, don't miss out on seeing this magnificent group when they come to a town near you. Get your Yoruba Andabo tickets from StubHub today!
