Since 2001 there is the Cuban Orchestra "Tokame" which is under my musical direction. I write the songs and arrangements. The staff of the orchestra consists exclusively cuban professional musicians who have found their second home in central europe. As a special extra, the english singer Aquilla Fearon sings titles in her mother language in the band. The lineup includes four brasses, three-piece rhythm section, three singers, piano and bass.
