Hatuey is a Swedish group devoted to music from Cuba and other Caribbean islands. The group was formed in 1987 and blends modern finely honed salsa with its muddy roots. There is a lot of variety and the rhythm is irresistible. Perfect suggestive dance music.
After the first record "Songo Mondongo" Hatuey was invited to play at the Jazz Plaza Festival 1991 in Havanna Cuba. The success was both great and astounding in front of 2000 Cubans at the Teatro Karlos Marx. Special guest on ”Songo Mondongo” is the legendary Bebo ValdÈs on piano. Hatueys second album "La Leyenda" from 1992 received overflowing reviews in the Latin Beat Magazine, Max Salazar wrote "La Leyenda is arousing. You may find it difficult to believe that Swedish musicans are on the session. It¥s the type of recording you can listen to forever, it¥s a royal jewel. I assure you once you hear La Leyenda, you will never be the same". In 1998 Hatuey released "El Baile de la Paz", in the album notes Bebo ValdÈs wrote ”I think this new Hatuey recording is fantastic. A collective work from an incredible tight group of musicians”.
Hatuey has been touring clubs and festivals all over Europe, always met by very enthusiastic audiences.The members of the group comes from Sweden, Cuba and Venezuela.
The name Hatuey originates from a brave Indian chief who, in the 16th century, fought against the Spanish conquistadores. It is also the name of a very tasty Cuban beer.
