Cubop Groovy latinjazz med rødder i cubansk salsaCubop er et 7-mands orkester, der har udviklet sin egen stil, ved at forene salsa-beatet med melodiøse jazz og funk temaer.
I ’94 tog tre danske musikere til Cuba for at opleve salsaens rødder og få den rytmiske feeling helt ind under huden. Og det fik de - bl.a. gennem undervisning fra musikerne fra Buena Vista Social Club, som få år senere blev verdensberømte og rullede salsabølgen ind over Europa og Danmark.
Rejsen til Cuba og mødet med de cubanske musikere blev startskuddet til bandet Cubop, der gennem mere end 20 år har bevæget sig i forskellige retninger inden for den cubanske musik og latinjazz. Navnet Cubop betyder Cuban Bebop og stammer fra den musikstil Dizzie Gillespie skabte i 40'erne, hvor han blandede afrocubansk musik med jazz og bebop.
Bandet har gennem årene udviklet Cubop fra at være et powercubansk danseband med sangere og kor, til i dag at blande salsa med jazz og funk i et rent instrumentalband. Et mix af stramme groovy bas- og klaverfigurer med friheden fra jazzens legende improvisationer, og stadig med salsaens dansefeeling.
Cubop spiller musik, der appellerer til både jazzelskere og folk med salsa i blodet.
Fredrik Lundin og Al Agami og Poul Halberg optræder som gæstesolister med Cubop.

English version: Cubop Groovy Latin Jazz with roots in Cuban salsa
Cubop is a 7-man orchestra who has developed his own style by uniting the salsa beater with melodious jazz and funk themes.
In '94, three Danish musicians went to Cuba to experience the roots of the salsa and get the rhythmic feeling completely under the skin. And they got it - including through instruction from the musicians from the Buena Vista Social Club, which became a world famous and rolled salsa wave across Europe and Denmark a few years later.
The trip to Cuba and the meeting with Cuban musicians became the starting point for the band Cubop, which has been moving in different directions for Cuban music and Latin jazz for more than 20 years. The name Cubop means Cuban Bebop and derived from the music style Dizzie Gillespie created in the 40's, mixing mixed African-American music with jazz and bebop.
Over the years, the band has developed Cubop from being a Power Cuban dance band with singers and choirs, to today mix salsa with jazz and funk in a purely instrumental band. A mix of tight groovy bass and piano figures with the freedom of jazz's legendary improvisations, and still with the salsa's dance performance.
Cubop plays music that appeals to both jazz lovers and people with salsa in the blood.
Fredrik Lundin and Al Agami perform as guest soloists with Cubop from spring 2017.
