Description

The band was created the summer of 2008 as a Salsa and Latin Jazz trio by piano player Giorgos Morfitis, bass player and singer Neofytos Stefanou and drummer Andreas Stefanou.

Giorgos Morfitis studied in Havana Cuba and afterwards graduated from the Rotterdam Conservatory in the Netherlands, specialized in piano performance of Latin and Latin Jazz music.

Andreas Stefanou is currently studying at Rotterdam Conservatory in the Netherlands specializing in performance of Latin and Latin Jazz on drums and percusion.

Neofytos Stefanou finished his studies in Germany and since then he is playing and singing Latin music professionally in Germany, The Netherlands, Cyprus etc.

After playing for a year the band members thought of expanding the band and follow a different direction than before, by adding a percussion player (Odyseas Kyriakou currently studying in Rotterdam Conservatory), a Trumpet player (Mike Michael) and a Saxophone player (Haris Ioannou) all known and respected Cypriot musicians.
Now the main focus of the band is Salsa and Timba music both Cuban oriented styles.
