From humble beginnings in Edinburgh, The Cuban Brothers are now a legendary international outfit and entertainment of choice for the likes of Elton John and Richard Branson. Blending funk and soul music with break-dancing and riotous comedy. Mike Keat (Miguel) started The Cuban Brothers as an entertainment entity after (his own words) watching dance music disappear up its own arsehole in the mid to late 90s. His love of b-boying, Latin music and character comedy inspired him to create a fun, irreverent music-driven show to help him showcase his burgeoning talents as a singer.

It's long been said that Cubans sing when they speak, dance when they walk and woo with a love song so it should be of little surprise that The Cuban Brothers' peerless funk soul review blends sexy, soulful music, with jaw-dropping b-boy action and riotous comedy.

From humble beginnings Miguel Mantovani, Archerio Mantovani and Kengo San have built Los Hermanos Cubanos, The Cuban Brothers, into a legendary outfit that continuously sells out shows across the globe.

Mike Keat (Miguel) started The Cuban Brothers as an entertainment entity after (his own words) 'watching dance music disappear up its own arsehole' in the mid to late 90s. His love of b-boying, Latin music and character comedy inspired him to create a fun, irreverent music-driven show to help him showcase his burgeoning talents as a singer, MC and dancer. After enrolling Archie 'Archerio' Easton (a former champion b-boy and ex-Prodigy dancer) and Kengo 'Kengo San' Oshima (a dance student and earnest wrong-man) the trio was complete and blurring historic fact with fiction and the three elements of entertainment - music comedy and dancing - the three amigos began their foray into filthy fun and funky action.

The Cuban Brothers are unique. Born of the loins of seventies Havana, nurtured on a diet of soulful, sexy tunes and inspired by Cuban historical fact and mythology their fresh approach to live entertainment whips up a frenzy at every gig. Their legendary performance combines music, riotous comedy, and sensational dancing which ensures the energy at every show is incredible. See them back at the Gilded Balloon, after almost a decade long break from Edinburgh Fringe, and get ready to DANCE!
