One band. One story.
"One night in San José — a band born for Leipzig."
It all began with a single evening: musicians from the UniBigBand Leipzig performed at the Festival Internacional de las Artes in Costa Rica, sharing the stage with the country's Big Band to play "Pa' Curubandé yo voy" by Maestro Vinicio Meza. That night became the band's origin.
Since then, musicians from Costa Rica, Spain, Brazil, Cuba, and Germany have shared the stage in Leipzig. What unites them: not just the music, but a genuine love for Latin American culture — its energy, its traditions, its dance.
Curubandé isn't a project on paper. It's an ensemble of friends who invite their audience into a different world, every single night.
