Ernesto Lechner of the L.A. Times says this is "the best group to come out of Cuba in the last fifteen years!" They are a Cuban version of the highly popular Gipsy Kings, and they perform Cuban roots dance music with elements of flamenco, son & Afro-Cuban sounds.
Arte Mixto is under the direction of talented violinist Alexis Correa. A group of musicians, freshly graduated form the National School of Arts, got together and formed in the city of Cienfuegos, Cuba. They wanted to play the well known traditional Cuban music—the sones, guaguancos, the rumbas and the guarachas—and add to them elements of classical music, jazz, flamenco, salsa and samba.
Arte Mixto is like a thick-rooted tropical tree bearing delicate fruit. Nourished with countless hours of rehersal, great efforts, bitter-sweet moments, illusions and realities, we finally bring to light our third fruit: 'Sin Chisme'.
