    Recorded at the legendary Egrem studios in Havana, 'Havana Classic' by the award-winning UK-based group Classico Latino, who turn to Cuba for a life-affirming encounter with one of the planet's most remarkable musical cultures. Sampling Afro-Hispanic changüi, romantic compositions by 'Cuban Gershwin' Ernesto Lecuona, and carnival of legendary salsa queen Celia Cruz, in the company of star Cuban musicians including vocalist Alina Torres and jazz violinist Omar Puente.
