Band
Havana Whisper is formed in 1999,
in Belgrade. It plays rockabilly
and swing in specific and unique
way influenced by other music styles.
In spite of music foundation based
on the middle of previous century,
this band sounds contemporary and
modern. In its base it has vocal,
guitar, upright bass, drums, trumpet,
tenor saxophone and trombone, but
uses also other instruments when
needed. Havana Whisper performed
in various festivals - from punk
to jazz (22nd Belgrade jazz festival,
jazz festival in Zelenkovac in 2000
and 2002, 3rd jazz and blues festival
in Sabac, punk fest in Dom Omladine
2000...), as a guest of other bands
(most important is definitely concert
of Bajaga i Instruktori at Tasmajdan
stadium in front of 10000 people!),
in numerous solo concerts in Serbia,
Montenegro, Hungary and Republic
of Srpska as well as on national
television (concert in LP show was
replayed several times on request
of audience). Unique style
and explosiveness of live performances
distinguishes this band from the
rest of the actual scene. In March
2002 PGP-RTS published the first
album, produced by Djordje Petrovic.
Its title - FLAMMABLE (CD413599)
says enough about its content.
