Cuba - Gibson Brothers
These are two dances; Cuba Groova A and Cuba Groova B. A is Intermediate/Advanced. B is Beginner/Intermediate
The music above can be found on "The Best Of... The Gibson Brothers" album, as well as a CD called "Mundo Latino". The original track is 7:50 long, and can be faded out after about 4:30 (certainly don't fade out before the nice Latin Piano section at 3:40!!), or played through to the end. However, the song on "Mundo Latino" is only 3:40 (approx.) long. "The Best Of... The Gibson Brothers" is an import, but is available. "Mundo Latino" is widely available
