- July 12, 2016 by FELIX CONTRERAS • Jane Bunnett knows a few things about Cuban music. She and her husband, trumpeter Larry Kramer, have been traveling to the island from their home base of Toronto for more than 30 years. They've collaborated with musicians there, as well as back home in Canada and on tours around the globe.
So it should come as no surprise that when Bunnett chose to perform with some of the top young women musicians from the island, she'd choose some of the best of their generation. As you can sense from this video, the members of Maqueque are conservatory-trained, but also schooled in Afro-Cuban tradition.
If you want to hear what Cuba sounds like today, then be sure to listen. It's a pleasure to watch and listen as Jane Bunnett and Maqueque share their passion with the world.

Holy crap, that drummer is on fire! Pianist is pretty amazing too.
@yerba buena Maqueque (pronounced Mah-Keh-Keh) includes Yissy Garcia on drums, Melvis Santa on percussion and vocals, Dánae Olano on piano, Magdelys Savigne on batá drums and congas and Celia Jiménez on bass.
I love Janes playing, but the band is what is magic here. At least its not called the "jane bunnett band".
She's talented but approached potentially adding to a part of a long history of musical appropriation. Her band kicks so much ass tho! what amazing women!
What a great discovery. Jane Bunnett and the Afro-Cuban sextet Maqueque are pretty amazing !!! Thanks so much for sharing. Greetings...
AMAZING!! INCREDIBLE MUSICIANSHIP ! LOVE U LADIES!

Amazing swing cuban jazz!
Jane Bunnet is BAD AZZ!!!! Wow. The sistas are beautiful and talented. Wasn't too crazy about the slightly flat vocals but I'm excited to see them at the Jacksonville Jazz Fest Memorial Day weekend 2018. IT'S FREE!
That was awesome!!!!
Awesome!
I love Melvis Santa!
Angular momentum 🎩👌🙃💓
Outstanding!
For those confused, that is what killing it looks like. Great set
What are the names of these talented young Cubans? Please include the names of the musicians whenever possible.
I've never seen somebody play a drum kit with their hands until now. All praise due lol
I love the rachmaninoff reference at 11:19 in the pianist's solo.
That's Grieg, but close enough. ;j
The cuban musicians use to cite this piece often
also quoted at the intro of El Trágico by NG la banda
YISSY
They are effing amazing. Disregard all the comments below about pitch.
*_eargasmic_*
Incredible
Una canadiense que quiere hacer lo que le es muy difícil, solo llega al 50% del feeling que se requiere para hacer esta música.
"Veinticinco movimientos y ninguno repetido"
Any chance you could name the other musicians not just the cultural appropriator" thanks
Most people don't know how to enjoy such performances, isn't it a pity?
Speak for yourself idiot.
Heavy
WHERE CAN I FIND THE SECOND SONG AND IT'S ALBUM?
pardon the dramatic caps. lol
Link please to where I can buy digitally
Sabroso!!
I wish sopranos were more commonly used in jazz.
Uh ... they're pretty common. Pretty much every jazz saxophonist since Coltrane has doubled on soprano. Besides Coltrane, there's Wayne Shorter, Branford Marsalis, Chris Potter, and Joshua Redman.
***** So? Even when players do double they're still not used as much as altos or tenors..
Well I'll be damned!
I thought she said the "late" Dave Matthews, I was like what?!?
Shorty is bad. Why am I not in Cuba.....??
Djent....
If nothing else, I feel that the saxophone is way too prominent over the rest of the music. The audio engineer surely did his best - I guess he'd preferred not to be credited with this part of the video, anyway; much different from "the top young women musicians from the island, (...) some of the best of their generation". Eyes up here, Bob! That's worse than careless.
snake charmer
it's become widely accepted that saxophonists don't need to consider their intonation or the quality of their tone at all when playing "jazz". case and point right here.
You jelly?
Gary Likely i'm jealous of out-of-tune saxophonists with horrid tone?
highly subjective,i think the soprano in general is not a pleasant instrument. I think an alto or a clarinet would have sounded more pleasant, she is a great player though.
MagicSteve46 if you want to hear some actual talented saxophonists that play in tune and consider "tone" before blowing into their instrument check out arno bornkamp, aurelia quartet, rascher quartet, paul desmond.
In my opinion there is more you can do than stay in tune when playing an instrument, as an aesthetic choice.
What a joke!
Wow, so good.
