MANOLITO SIMONET Y SU TRABUCO


Sixteen-member Manolito y su Trabuco is one of Cuba's greatest and best loved timba bands. The group's innumerable international tours are the mark of its huge success over the past 15 years.

Born in Camaguey in 1961, Manuel Simonet learnt piano and tres with the Amateur Artists Movement. In 1993, he created his own group, Manolito y su Trabuco, where the term "trabuco" in Cuba refers to a team's power.
The band lives up to its name… It is a powerful and explosive group that inspires ecstatic reactions from fans. That’s why we strongly recommend that you see this band live if humanly possible. Like Issac Delgado, Manolito y su Trabuco is one of those bands that you have to see live to fully appreciate how great they are – “one of the tightest and most powerful ensembles on the planet“. The group features a unique instrumentation of violin, cello, flute, two trumpets and two trombones, plus synth, piano, congas, bass and an absolute powerhouse of a drummer, Roicel Riverón.


True giants of Cuban music, Manolito y su Trabuco, are touring in 2011 presenting their last albums – the powerful and danceable “Trabuco una vez más” and “Beat Cubano” – the first Latin Jazz recording of the band.
