Newport Set For North American Flair As Cuban Brothers Come To Town

A band renowned for their high-octane live festival shows will perform on the Isle of Wight this week.

The Cuban Brothers will appear at Newport's Strings Venue and Bar on Friday (May 17) at 7.30pm.

From sold-out tours, festival spots and support slots for rock royalty to crazy club nights, film roles and fashion shows, The Cuban Brothers’ unparalleled act is ingrained in pop culture.

Two decades since their inception, Miguel and his suspect sidekicks are renowned all over the world for their party-starting skills, risqué sketches, B-boy moves and funk-fuelled music.

A spokesperson for Strings said:

"We are absolutely delighted that they're coming to the Island.

"The Cuban Brothers may be a comedy act, but they’re simultaneously serious musicians who have played with Prince, been on the road with James Brown and supported Fatboy Slim, Chuck Berry and De La Soul."

The band has a further link to the Island, with Bestival promoter and Freshwater resident Rob da Bank having made them a staple of his Sunday Best parties and word quickly spread.

Further details can be found online.
