The passionate Cecilia Noel returns with her 2014 album, HAVANA ROCKS, a Latin-infused collection of American classics recorded in Havana, Cuba, with special permission from the U.S. Government, with an all Cuban cast of musicians and singers. Together, Noel and crew combine elements of Salsa, Soul, Jazz, Funk, and Afro-Cuban music to deliver infectious Latin takes on ’80s classic Rock ‘n Roll hits. The album includes covers of Devo’s ‘Whip It,’ Gary Numan’s ‘Cars’ and ACDC’s ‘You Shook Me,’ all propelled by deep percussive grooves and Noel’s rich and appealing alto vocals. Originally from Lima, Peru, Noel was discovered by Stan Getz and moved to New York City, briefly performing as a dancer with Jo Jo’s Dance Factory and Menudo. In 1989, she relocated to Los Angeles and became involved in the local music scene. In 2009 Noel released a GOZAR!, an infectious set of playful ‘Salsoul’ grooves for which Noel is known and which earned Noel a spot on Putumayo’s critically-acclaimed LATIN PARTY release in 2010. In addition to her band, Noel also performs and records with husband and former Men at Work front man Colin Hay.
