Edkub

EDKUB, founded in 2018 by Swiss composer, producer and bass player Fred Sumi, bridges Cuban and electronic music, with a jazz spirit. It is the fruit of a friendship and collaboration with famous Cuban musicians during several recording sessions in Havana. Since his first visit to Cuba in 1995, Fred Sumi has been passionate about Cuban music. EDKUB arose from his love for Cuban grooves, blending them with warm electronic sounds. Together, they create a unique fusion offering a captivating musical experience.

On their new album COLOR DE ROSAS, EDKUB explores his Cuban-electro fusion in depth. It features thirteen tracks that, united like rose petals, create a multicolored and flourishing universe.

The band is made up of brothers Yassell and Raysel Sotomayor, with their Afro-Cuban-influenced voices, and Marbis Manzanet, with her deep, intense voice. Maykel Garcia Gonzalez (piano, keyboards) current pianist of the legendary Cuban band "Los Van Van", Duniesky Barreto (congas), Eduardo Bringuez Ayarde (trumpet), all three former members of the famous Cuban band “Pupy y Los que Son Son”, and Roicel Riveron (drums and timbal) former member of the famous Cuban band “Manolito y su Trabuco”

Since the beginning of EDKUB, Jack El Calvo, famous Cuban music DJ based in Paris, has been supporting the project. He selected the first single KEY JAM as the generic of his mixes on social networks during the confinement in 2020.
