‘An album that will blow you away’ TIME OUT
‘Destinos is quite possibly the best thing to come out of Cuba since Buena Vista Social Club…the musicianship is worthy of praise…excellent.’
MOJO

‘Asere’s new album Destinos has the hallmarks of a crossover world music hit… there’s plenty of plenty of art in making music sound effortless.’
THE GUARDIAN

‘These performances are full of vitality, artfully poised between past and present.’
THE SUNDAY TIMES
‘Asere’s expanding reputation is built on their dynamic transformations of Cuba’s classic style….the young Cubans are dedicated to their traditions, but they inhabit the modern world, and their music proves how robust the century-old bedrock is… Asere are a classic son sextet, featuring trumpet, guitar, percussion and bass: superlative musicians who with producer John Hollis – know exactly how to modernise without losing soul’
