The musicians spent a week recording in a local music studio
established by famed Cuban singer Silvio Rodriguez. Inti
Illimani Historico member, Horacio Duran, said it was exciting
to be in Havana.
"Truly we live from the point of view of our work, our life,
Inti Illimani Historico - a particularly uplifting moment and
what better way to complete or round off that state of
exaltation as Horacio Salinas has described. To be here in Cuba
doing a job, only thinking about music, only recording and into
it without any other life distractions," he said.
The group's album will focus on dance music and will feature
work with other artists including Chilean singer Anita Tijoux.
Other artists set to perform on the album include Spaniard Diego
El Cigala, Cuban Pancho Amat and Puerto Rican, Eduardo Cabra.
The band said it was exciting to return to Cuba after 30 years
away from the island.
They took some time for sightseeing and attended a Silvio
Rodriguez concert.
