AMBOS
MUNDOS
Ambos Mundos is a collaboration between Cuban singer and percussionist Luison Capote and three Norwegian musicians, Petter Dalane (piano), Andreas Svabø (bass) and Thomas Antonio Debelian (percussion), founded in Oslo in 2022.
Capote is known as one of Norway’s formost experts on cuban traditional music, and has contributed to a number of successful bands in the style, such as Mambo Compañeros, La Descarga and Lusion Y Cuba.
Ambos Mundos plays a combination of traditional cuban songs and jazz compositions lending themselves to similar interpretations.
In 2024 the quartet played a number of concerts for the elderly in Oslo, one listener describing it as “perfect entertainment on a gray and rainy September day, allowing us to dream away to the sun and warmth of Cuba.”
