-
Linea 1 is a hip young independent music company focused initially on Latin music.
-
Our core concept: innovative development of and new directions for the enormous reservoir of musical talent on the Island of Cuba.
-
A big investment in research and development over the last four years has resulted in the creation of totally new Cuban /Caribbean fusions and the (re-)
emergence of some of Cuba's most exciting artists, many on our new "casinosounds" label.
-
Casinosounds' first success was with Los Fakires, a unique son group whose debut album is about to be re-release by Deutsche Grammophon; the boys – average age around 70 – are so far our hottest ‘traditional’ artists.
-
Watch out, though, for the utterly wonderful retro-hip diva Sonia Santana and The Saratoga Band , whose first album
will be released early next year on Sony Classical; up-and-coming pop star Lilian Garcia; plus casinosounds` brilliant collection of previously unreleased classic recordings, "Cuba la Vida".
-
Listen up to something totally new that will knock your socks off: Ska Cubano... plus... some groovy kids with voices like 1950's angels... plus... the last album by the
late great Raul Planas, Cuba's last Sonero Mayor... plus... plus... plus...
