About this Event

HAVANA ROOTS — live at The Grand Social
Saturday 3 October 2026 · 7:30pm – 10:30pm · 35 Liffey Street Lower, Dublin 1

The Dublin orchestra that crosses Cuban classics with Jamaican ska and reggae is back on Liffey Street.

Eight players, one bandstand: son cubano and guajira standards pulled apart and rebuilt on offbeat guitar, dub bass and Kingston drums. Compay Segundo by way of the Skatalites. Expect brass, tres cubano, three percussionists' worth of clave, and very little standing still.

On the night
• Havana Roots — full band set, including tracks from the debut 12" double single Amor Verdadero / El Carretero
• Rico DJ — Tropical selections before the set
