CUBA TROPICAL
Christos
Morfitis and his group

This is the name of the Latin music group of Christos Morfitis, to which he is the pianist, singer and musical director. This group is unique in Cyprus in its style. It performs Latin dance music:

“Musica Cubana” – original Cuban music: salsa, “son cubano”, chachacha, bolero, mambo, rumba, afrocuban, Latin-jazz, and other Latin-american styles like cumbia, merengue, Argentinean tango etc.

Music is orchestrated according to the Cuban style, and performed with the same energy and flavor. It includes singing (Spanish) and choro, piano montuno, percussions (tumbadoras – timbales), bass, saxophone and trumpet. The number of the musicians is five (5). This can come with an excellent presentation of a dancing group by a Cuban female dancer and professor of dance, (if requested). The whole presentation is enjoyable both to the ear and the eye, and extra care is taken for the smallest detail. This group is ideal for strong, energetic nights with a Latin flavor, but at the same time for a romantic Caribbean atmosphere. This group can also perform concerts and large music productions. 

*Due to the nature and originality of this group, it can only come in its original form, shape, and size. It is only for complete Latin nights and themes, and should not be confused to smaller formations in which Cuban music can be included as part of the program.

**Other formations can be quartet, trio, duet or one person, depending on the style of the event, and also the musical needs that the event might have (it is different if music will have a background secondary character, in which the number of musicians can be smaller, or if it will have a more prominent part in the event, like a party, in which the number of musicians can be bigger-more energy). The number of the guests or the kind of music played can also affect the formation, so this will need to be decided in advance, after evaluating the requirements of the event, the wish of the client and before closing the deal.

***These formations are more flexible into moving from one style of music to the other, like:

Cuban music, Jazz, blues, soul, funk, tango, English-American pop (ballads, reggae, Rock&Roll, twist, disco etc.) or a variety of the above.

****For jazz concerts we strongly suggest the Jazz Quartet, which makes a musical voyage through swing, Latin-jazz, Brazilian jazz, blues, funk-jazz, fusion etc. The energy produced by the musical interaction of the musicians but also the saddle way in which it is performed, makes it suitable for other events like parties, receptions etc.
