Eliel lazo - Descargas Cubanas
Eliel Lazo is an award-winning Cuban percussionist, vocalist, composer, and producer, born in Havana and based in Denmark since 2007. Considered one of the most prominent conga players of his generation, he has collaborated with international artists such as Chucho Valdés, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, and the DR Big Band. In 2011, he received a Danish Music Award for the album *El Conguero*, and his music moves freely between Afro-Cuban styles, jazz, funk, and Latin traditions.
With the project *Eliel Lazo Descargas Cubanas*, Lazo revives the authentic sound of the legendary Cuban *descargas* of the 1950s-that spontaneous, virtuosic jam session tradition immortalized by masters like Peruchín, Frank Emilio, Cachao, and Tata Güines. Inspired by the album *Descargas Cubanas*, the project invites the audience into a vibrant musical universe filled with improvisation, rhythmic energy, and the warm, elegant sound of Havana's golden era. Balancing tradition and modernity, the music pays tribute to Cuba's musical heritage with both respect and a distinctive personal touch.
The band features some of the most sought-after Cuban musicians on the international scene:
* Eliel Lazo - congas and vocals
* Yasser Pino - bass
* Alberto Diaz - piano
* Tony Moreaux - timbales
