Rehearsal 3Rhythms Del Mundo stormed the music world with its first release in 2006 – Cuba – blending the sounds of the Buena Vista Social Club, recorded in a studio in Havana, with the world’s biggest popular artists and their Western sounds. Cuba peaked at 74 in the U.S. Billboard Top World Albums and remains in the collections of latin music lovers worldwide – you can buy it here on this website or listen on Spotify.

From there, Rhythms Del Mundo have released a further four albums, working with the likes of The Killers, The Rolling Stones, Jack Johnson, Amy Winehouse and Green Day. A sixth brand new album is currently in the making, expected for release in early 2017.

RDM live3.PGKenny Young, founder and producer, said at the time of the group’s inception: “You can call these [disasters that are happening] natural disasters but after all the research and scientific data, we know that we’re at least partly to blame for some. Global warming is now in the news daily. If we don’t act in the time frame our experts give us, our grandchildren will curse us eternally.”
