Habana Abierta

Habana Abierta is a Cuban band. They are part of a generation of composers, musicians, sculptors, authors, and actors that emerged in the early '90s with its own identity in Havana, even though some of their creations had already been well-known for some years in the island's cultural circles. The origins of Habana Abierta go back to a personal project of music duo Gema y Pável, who wanted to produce a compilation of everything they and their peers had been doing in Havana clubs with few resources. Initially, Luis Alberto Barbería, Pepe del Valle, Carlos Santos, Boris Larramendi, Superavit, Andy Villalón, Kelvis Ochoa and José Luis Medina, backed by the NUBENEGRA recording label, released songs under the name Habana Oculta.
