QUICK BIO

Mixing indie rock with traditional Cuban music ain't easy, but it makes for one hell of a ride. The Cuban Cowboys bring a post-punk sensibility to the heart of the Buena Vista Social club. Armed with mambo riffs,swooning surf guitar, and a killer live show, the band is steadily building a following across the US. They're touring in support of their debut album “Cuban Candles”, the musical chronicle of one family's exile experience. "Cuban Candles," entered CMJ’s Latin Alt.Chart at #84, and climbed to #2 after only four weeks. It went as high as #15 on the World chart. NPR in California named "Cuban Candles" among 2007's top-10 releases, and Newsday said the album was “destined to become a classic intersection between roots rock and Cuban Son.” Their live EP "Live From Nueva York" (2008) is available here for FREE. This fall, the band will release "The Devil's Dance," a new album produced by Greg Landau (Maldita Vencidad, Susana Baca). Check out the first five tracks here!
