BRINGING the Summer time to a chilly night time on the Kelvingrove Bandstand, Los Hermanos Cubanos are that uncommon factor, a musical comedy act that works.
In contrast to most others who try the identical factor, the Cubans even have good songs – mixing soul, hip hop and funk into tracks that might match into any set of extra “critical” music.
It’s given an edge although, because it’s shot via with whip-sensible humour and between-music banter that, if it got here from anybody else, can be bordering on outrageous. However from Mike Keat, aka Miguel Mantovani, you’ll be able to’t see anybody being offended.
Mike For President was a blast of Latin-infused hip hop, whereas the slick soul of So Candy let Keat exhibit a voice that would maintain its personal with straight-up singers.
Breakdancers Archerio, Kengo San and Juan have been unimaginable, backed up by visitor dancers the Flying Jalapeños.
They ended on a tribute to Prince with a raucous routine to I Wanna Be Your Lover. That was adopted by them getting half the gang onstage for Lionel Richie’s All Night time Lengthy, proving but once more that no one can contact the Cubans. Vive Miguelito!
