Thanks Johnny, if you like I will send you a copy of the complete show I have on DVD which my friend filmed while we were on tour.
The band is my Timba band (Armandito Y Su Mecanica) which we did the show with, the repertoire for the show is different to what we play when we gig with the band though, show and band are 2 different products..

As for Cubans in the show, all 3 male dancers are Cuban, 3 of the female dancers are Cuban, 1 female dancer is Colombian, There is also a Brazilian girl who has since joined the outfit.
In the band, the band leader is Cuban, musical director is from Chile, the other musicians are from Chile, Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, Argentina, Uruguay, Australia and Malta.
Regarding Cubans in Aus, there have always been Cubans in Australia, over the last 10 years or so, many more have arrived. There is a rather large population of them here.
The name of the show is Cuban Nights / Noche Cubana.
Here are some promo pics for old shows we did..

We arent currently doing the show as we are now more involved in the other project (those tracks I sent you, the hip hop ones) as most the musicians from the show are involved in that hip hop/crossover project. (different band - Son Veneno)
But there are promoters here negotiating with our Lawyers to try and arrange another set of shows/tour.
Incredible amount of legal crap is associated with the show, ie licenseing, royalties, copyright etc etc, lucky for us we had very big fans of the band who followed us everywhere, out of that group of friends it turned out some were very big time lawyers int eh entertainment industry! So it all worked out great for us!
We ended up taking them up to represent us for big matters.
