3 de la Habana to release “Llego el Momento” (RAFCA Records), their latest album today in the United States. This is the 4th album in their career, but first available in the States.

“Llegó el Momento” was recorded during the summer of 2007 in Los Angeles and was co-produced by legendary musician Orestes Vilato and produced by German Pinelli, Director of the group which includes 10 songs that were mostly written by the band members. The album flows effortlessly through a palette of formats, from power ballads (“Donde Está El Amor)”, to reggaeton (“La Perdida”) and reggae (“No Te Debo Na’ ”). It closes with an almost reverential, a cappella take on the oft-recorded Cuban standard, “Lágrimas Negras.” by the immensely influential Miguel Matamoros , which was the only tune not written by 3 de la Habana.

“La Perdida” is the first single of the album, a catchy Cubaton (Cuban version of regaeton) song which begins to hit airwaves across the country.

3 de la Habana arrived to American Territory at the end of 2007 after performing in important venues in Mexico. It was then when they decided to take the risk of entering the U.S. and request political asylum.

It is worth mentioned that the group composed by German (Director, Guitar, Vocals), Ana (Vocals), Ari (Vocals), Tirso (Bongos), Magela (Electric Bass), Maykel (Congas) achieved success in their country after releasing three albums, which took them to important venues in Canada, Australia, Colombia, Greece, Spain and Italy
