All London's live music

Piano & Trova is an intimate journey through the Cuban songbook, combining traditional trova, Cuban filin and timeless music associated with Buena Vista Social Club, Beny Moré, Ernesto Lecuona, Pérez Prado, Celia Cruz and Pablo Milanés.

With original arrangements influenced by jazz, classical music, pop and flamenco, Elio and Beny bring a fresh perspective to the music of their homeland, accompanied by Frank Portuondo and Ernesto Marichales, outstanding musicians from London’s Latin jazz scene.

Piano & Trova brings together Cuban pianist, arranger and musical director Elio Rojas and vocalist Beny Luis for an intimate celebration of Cuban music and friendship.

Elio and Beny first met during their early years as musicians in Cuba, where they shared the idea of creating a project called El Cuartel: a space where they could explore the songs and musical traditions that shaped them as artists. After developing international careers and performing on stages in London and beyond, they now reunite to bring that original idea to life.
