Ex Habana Abierta Member Drops New Disc

Madrid-based, singer/songwriter Borris Larramendi, a former member of the collective Habana Abierta and The Habana Blues Band, released his second solo album Libre, which he self-produced and is available on iTunes. I'll write a proper review once I've listened to the entire disc, though I'm sure that Larramendi serves up as much swing and funk as he did when he jammed with HA - and besides, Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez plays the trap set and percussion on the album and any project he's involved in, from experimental jazz to timba-funk, is top-notch, El negro doesn't mess around. As for the remaining members of HA, they will be performing in Miami on June 6th at the American Airlines Arena as the opening act for Cuban-American salsa singer Willy Chirino.
