Vistel Brothers at Le Baiser Sale

Two major figures in contemporary Afro-Cuban jazz: the Vistel Brothers, Jorge (trumpet) and Maikel Vistel (saxophone), originally from Santiago de Cuba.

Deux figures majeures du jazz afro-cubain actuel : les Vistel Brothers, Jorge (trompette) et Maikel Vistel (saxophone), originaires de Santiago de Cuba. Entre tradition et modernité, leur musique explore les racines profondes de la culture cubaine (Abakuá, Arará, Palo...) et les fusionne avec l’énergie du jazz contemporain.Installés en Europe, ils imposent un son puissant, à la fois spirituel et ancré dans le groove, porté par une virtuosité naturelle et un dialogue fraternel intense. Sur scène, la trompette et le saxophone tissent des histoires entre improvisation, héritage afro-caribéen et textures modernes.Leur dernier projet, "Fiesta en el Batey", est un hommage à leur ville natale et à ses traditions populaires, mêlant chants, percussions et jazz d’avant-garde. Une soirée rare, au croisement du rituel et de l’urbanité musicale. Entre transe afro-cubaine et souffle contemporain.
