Jane Bunnett and Maqueque

Four-time JUNO Award winner, two-time Grammy nominee, and Officer of the Order of Canada, soprano saxophonist/flautist Jane Bunnett brings the soul of Cuba to the hearts of music-lovers.

A Canadian treasure, Jane Bunnett certainly doesnt sit on her laurels. A long-time jazz musician on the scene, Bunnett began digging deep into the music of Cuba during a trip there in 1982, falling in love with its intricate folkloric Afro-Cuban rhythms, and blending them with contemporary jazz sounds. Her latest project is an assembly of all-star Cuban musicians, a sextet which includes herself and five extraordinary young females. Maqueque band members are Jane, on flute and soprano sax, virtuoso drummer Yissy García, dynamic percussionist Daymé Arceno, (who is also a powerhouse vocalist), Yusa on tres guitar and fretless bass, pianist Danae, and Magdelys on batás and congas.
