  • Cuba! Starring Simply Red - Recorded Live at El Gran Teatro, Havana
    Here in concert at the Gran Teatro, whether alone in the spotlight or sharing the stage in carnival fashion with the native Cuban players and classically-trained but newly-liberated dancers, Mick Hucknall and Simply Red deliver an inarguable truth: they are one of Britain's best ever bands and this is them at their finest. - Alan Jackson

    As a singer and performer, this is a masterclass in every aspect of singing, stage performance, arrangement, sound and video production. I´ve always admired him, but was expecting the usual deterioration of the voice that usually comes with aging. His mastery of his instrument has actually improved. His dynamics and expressiveness combined with flawless technique is sooooooo inspiring. Simply Beautiful!

      @mick hucknall hello from Villasimius - Sardinia (Italy), Mick!!! Surely you can't remember😉, but many years ago I had the chance to meet and talk to you here in my place, Villasimius!! I think to remember walking along the main street and driving a Red Convertible car (may be an Alfa romeo spider😉)... I think you were involved with some Sardinian girl at that time😉. Since then I already started to listen and appreciate a lot your music, and I can't get enough to watch the video of your concert in Cuba, so sorry to have missed it🙁... I'm hoping your next concerts in Bruxelles and Amsterdam will gon on, I will be surely there !!! My dream is to have you back here in my place for a concert!!! May be you remember about our sea and beaches, so I would be REALLY happy to have you as a special guest in my small hotel in Villasimius!! Hope you will answer and get in touch to my mail gpcarboni@tiscali.it or phone (whatsapp/Telegram) to +39.3470371677.
      Please, make my dream come true!!!
      A great hugh from Sardinia...

    I am amazed at how the Cuban audience is so respectful. There is no yelling and screaming whistling people up dancing around. Although they did make most of this concert just him singing acapella with a minimum of musical accompaniment. So different from say. which I just watched.. Live at Trafford.... which i just watched. Watched so much of this for so long I can sing most of it by heart. What an awesome band. OK I can see at the end after they crank the music up then people in the audience start dancing...... how could you not??

      I'm 39 from Bosnia and I know most of this songs from my childhood, despite war and shit with not having electricity some of these songs hit the charts. Few years ago I found out Mick and I share the birthday and I atribute that to the fact he's one of the few mellow acts I can listen, being into little bit heavier music in my youth. But Symply Red is world known and widely loved band.

Und hier: Was für ein schönes Theater, was für ein tolles Orchester mit all' den schönen Menschen, und das Ballett natürlich nicht zu vergessen. was für ein zugeneigtes Publikum, die, fast schon Evergreens, unvergeßlichen überaus melodischen Songs von Mick. Am Ende war es dann soweit "If you don't know me by now" und meine Tränen rannen. Ich wäre so gerne dabei gewesen. Tausend Dank an Euch alle aus Berlin!

    La Habana? El Gran Teatro de la Habana , epicentro del Son , la guaracha y el Cabaret con un concierto de una banda inglesa y su musica soul? con un piano de cola legendario cubano , acariciado por un ingles? musicos cubanos de escuela con ejecuciones idilicas. Y un ingreso propio de caribe.....
    sencillamente APOTEOSICO!!!!!!!!!!

    There is nothing better that hearing to Michael Hucknall in the begging of this concert, when it is quiet and you can hear to every movement of his voice.
    It easily takes our mind to the very deep special moments of life experience.

      I echo everything you say. Would you believe me if I told you I sat at 12 pm tonight and started humming a song with 2 words and a few notes I remembered. It bugged me so much that I couldnt remember the artist or more words to search on you tube. I went to something that felt similar and knew it wasnt right. Next thing this was suggested. I was totally amazed that this was exactly what I hummed. Unbelievably exquisite performance. I cant believe his voice is so amazing...the jazz feel the romantic tension..smooth ..i can carry on. This was a special gift to me from the Lord tonight.

    The production's top-notch quality shines through every aspect. Cuba's musicians set incredibly high standards, exuding pure elegance. The meticulous attention to detail is evident; this concert flows seamlessly, with Mick, the chorus, and the band fully at ease. The sound engineer and musical director have everything impeccably managed. The Cuban symphonic orchestra's performance is flawless, and the choreography strikes a balance between pure joy and professionalism. Cuba's musical legacy in the '50s as the crown jewel of the Caribbean wasn't without reason.
