A Platform for Ethnically and Culturally Inspired Music
ABOUT
Cuban musician, singer, composer, and producer, Vanito Brown is one of the most remarkable leading voices of his generation. He is a co-founder and member of Habana Abierta, a group of musicians created in Madrid in 1996.
Both solo and with Habana Abierta, Vanito Brown has performed on an extensive and important list of stages and music festivals throughout Cuba, Europe, and the USA.
In his compositions, a wide range of influences and issues coexist in a unique, organic Cuban fusion of Pop, Rock, and Trova. This has been called Rock and Son or Timba Rock.
Vanito's earliest professional experience as a frontman was with the rock band Lucha Almada in 1994, and its album "Vendiéndolo Todo," -Bis Music 1995-, marked the opening of the Cuban music market to the sounds of the new generational projection he belongs to. This was soon and clearly visible in Habana Abierta since 1996, whose music transcends ages in Cuba and all over the world, being widely emulated by most of the subsequent rock-pop formations in Cuba and also South America.
