Introduction
Habana Helsinki is a Cuban-Finnish salsa band whose heart beats to the beat of modern Cuban timba. The charismatic soloist and band leader Raciel López holds the audience at his fingertips and composes a dangerously addictive timba that fills the dance floor. The impressively groovy band brings the mix of virtuosity and great chemistry to the stage. The band's repertoire consists of the band's own songs and the best-known chart hits in the Latin music, offering danceable salsa, atmospheric bachata and romantic Latin ballads. Pure energy from Havana to Helsinki and from Helsinki to the world!
