The Los Primos name is well known in Cuba and in Nova Scotia. Local audiences will know the Canadian Primos for the standing ovation shows they have given in previous jazz festivals and concerts around the province. They are students of music who have learned Cuban music from Cuban musicians working with the Los Primos project. Los Primos is a cultural exchange between music students in Cuba and Canada. Since 1998 when the first band of Cuban students came to Nova Scotia, Los Primos has been building a bridge between the musical communities of Nova Scotia and Cuba.
This full-sized salsa band will bring you a show of musicianship, rhythm, harmony, and beauty that will capture your imagination and have you dancing from the very first note.
