What better way to start your Monday than by thinking about Friday. This coming Friday, April 4th, S.O.B.’s presents 3 de la Habana in their first-ever live NYC performance. Having just received political asylum in the U.S. in late 2007, this is the innovative trio’s first ever appearance in NYC and only their third U.S. performance, although the band has made numerous acclaimed appearances throughout Europe, Mexico and Latin America. 3 de la Habana play a mix of their own compositions and outside material in an eclectic fusion of traditional and edgy rhythms that range from traditional timba to alternative to reggaeton. Check them out for yourself after the jump.

If this is the direction reggaeton is moving, I think I like it.

3 de la Habana have recorded three albums in Cuba, and will begin recording their first U.S. album in May for CEG Entertainment.

Ticket info: $15; Available on Ticketmaster and the S.O.B.’s Box Office, 212-243-4940.
Doors open 7pm.
