A Havana Night in Copenhagen: Nova Concerts Closes Its 2025 Season with a Unique Celebration of Cuban Music On November 7th, 2025 , Nova Concerts invites audiences to THE TIMBA LEGACY – A Tribute to Grupo Danson and the Afro-Cuban Sound , the spectacular finale of its acclaimed Afro-Cuban trilogy. Taking place at Musikcaféen, Huset i Magstræde , this one-night-only concert will bring together an extraordinary lineup of musicians to celebrate the past, present, and future of Cuban music.The concert is the final chapter of a journey that began two concerts ago. With Akokán , Nova explored the ancestral heartbeat of Afro-Cuban music — its rhythms, rituals, and stories born from the African diaspora. With Resonancia , the focus shifted to how those rhythms evolved into melodies and travelled across cultures. Now, LEGACY celebrates the living sound of that evolution — music that originated in the streets of Havana, transcended borders, and continues to move audiences worldwide.
At the heart of this special night is the Cuban-Danish band Grupo Danson , the legendary orchestra that in the early 00's shaped a new chapter of Cuban music in Europe. Founded by trombonist Carlos Pérez , bassist Yasser Pino , and trombonist Mia Engsager and brought to life by the extraordinary Alexander Abreu , Danson fused tradition and innovation, proving the global reach and emotional depth of Cuban music. Original Danson pianist Rune Thorsteinsson will join in the concert, adding his unmistakable touch.
Audiences can expect more than a performance — LEGACY is an invitation to experience the joy, depth, and cultural power of Cuban music, even if they’ve never heard it before. It’s a night where stories are told without words, where rhythms bring people together, and where a room becomes a celebration.
This concert is a reunion. A celebration. A Havana night in Copenhagen. A great finale for Nova Concerts Series 2025, and everyone’s invited!
