Klazz Brothers & Cuba Percussion.
KUCHING: Multiple award-winning Klazz Brothers & Cuba Percussion breathes new life into concert halls all over the world.
Classics of musical history are revived through witty arrangements in an astonishing guise of sounds, seducing the audience into a world of passion and contagious Cuban joy of living.
With their distinct and unique sound, the ensemble’s unconventional musical language unveils refreshing insight into the works of Bach, Mozart, Paganini or Brahms; uniting the classical European music tradition with swing, merengue or AfroCuban jazz in a truly unique way.
The various classical themes, brilliantly arranged as salsa, bolero or chachacha are characterised by rhythmic as well as melodic diversity with abundant space for improvisation. Music lovers of all generations and genres including jazz, salsa and classical, have been fascinated by the Klazz Brothers & Cuba Percussion’s experience.
