Cubismo

Cubismo is a Croatian music band formed in 1995 in Zagreb, renowned for their energetic blend of salsa, Latin jazz, and Afro-Cuban rhythms. The group comprises members from Croatia, Venezuela, Cuba, and Slovenia, contributing to their unique sound.

In addition to covering classic jazz and Cuban songs, they perform original compositions. They have collaborated with international artists, including members of the legendary Buena Vista Social Club, and Croatian musicians such as Josipa Lisac, Gibonni, and Oliver Dragojević. Cubismo has released several albums, including "Cubismo" (1997), "Viva La Habana" (1998), "Motivo Cubano" (2000), and "Junglesalsa" (2002).
