Venue
Club Mystique, Spaarndammerstraat

Cuban timba band Timbalive, based in Miami, played Club Mystique on Sunday 4 November 2012. They performed for two hours without stopping. Timba, the band's style, is a Cuban genre built on son and salsa with influences from funk, R&B and Afro-Cuban folkloric music. Timbalive was founded in Miami in August 2008 by its director, Leo Garcia, and timba.com counts it among the most important working timba bands in the United States. Its second album, La timba pa' to' el mundo, was nominated for a Cubadisco award, a rare honour for a dance band based in the US. The band has also worked with Cuban stars such as Issac Delgado, who had played Club Mystique in May that year.
