British Summer Time #BST in Hyde Park

From the picture, you’d be forgiven for thinking that we’d returned to our homeland for a special show back in Habana Vieja.

For the last 2 weekends, we did some special shows in Hyde Park entertaining the audience as they enjoyed the best weather that Britain has ever had to offer.

And these shows were SPECIAL – we were playing in between the likes of Temper Trap, Eliza Doolittle, JLS, Jennifer Lopez; warming up for Bon Jovi, The Rolling Stones, Lionel Ritchie! The stage was purpose-built for the Cubans to recreate our own Habana Vieja in the middle of London, complete with palm trees and Cuban style balconies. Joining us on stage were the incredible CSI steel band, Paraiso Samba School, Ruff Diamond dancers and DJ Anton Black of the Notting Hill Carnival Roadshow bringing the flavour of carnival to Hyde Park.

The 2 weeks ended with the whole park singing and dancing along to Lionel Ritchie’s All Night Long – let’s hope the summer doesn’t end just yet!
