Eldis La Rosa Group

Founded twenty years ago, the legendary Eldis La Rosa Group is now returning to the stage – with fresh energy and the unmistakable sound of Cuba in tow. The Cuban multi-instrumentalist Eldis La Rosa is reigniting Cuban Jazz in Austria.

Since the release of his album Trotando (2006), inspired by Paquito D’Rivera's boundless Latin Jazz, La Rosa has evolved his style: powerful Cuban traditions meet contemporary grooves, jazzy freedom, and improvisational playfulness.

As the only Cuban Jazz formation in Austria, the Eldis La Rosa Group is back with mature compositions and a pulsating band sound – a comeback that celebrates the warmth, intensity, and vibrancy of Cuban Jazz.

Eldis La Rosa – saxophone, flute, percussion, vocals; Ariel Ramírez – guitar; Gregor Aufmesser – bass; Victor Fuentes – percussion; Mathias Holzner – drums.
