About the band...
Cubano Be, Cubano Bop (formerly known as 'The Latin Jazz Express') is a Latin Jazz group in the tradition of Tito Puente and Mongo Santamaria and was formed at William Paterson College in 1990. Soon after, this group was used for commercial recordings that featured legendary African artists such as the Ghanaian Highlife artist, C.K. Mann and Laud Addy from the highly esteemed Addy family (see Congo Square, Wynton Marsalis). Grammy nominee, Chico Mendoza, who mentored the group from its early days continues to use the band as his own for many of his live events. The Latin Jazz Express ignites their audiences with their infectious use of Latin rhythms and exciting arrangements!
