Ambos Mundos was founded at the end of 1995 in Havana with the aim of providing a wide overview of Cuban culture.
Its activities include various different types of music wich are the main work area of the band :

- the son, salsa, rumba, bolero, cha-cha-cha…

Its theatre activities are based mainly upon Afro-Cuban legends and poetry in Spanish and French, with a repertoire suitable for both adults and children. Ambos Mundos also carries out pluri-disciplinary educational courses (singing, dancing, instruments) and provides talks on Cuban culture.
To realise its ambitious projects, Ambos Mundos can call upon the services of the following:

Tania Nerfin (vocal lead)
Eduardo Jímenez (tres & trumpet)
Reynaldo Zayas (guitar & voice)
Alfredo Somoza (contrabass & voice)
