Get your hips swaying and shoulders shimmying to the rich melodies of the Caribbean Islands

Xavier’s Classic Band heats it up at West Cafe. They have created a new sound from the Bolero, Cuban and traditional Latin ballad rhythms that were big in the 1940’s and 50’s. Woven together and sprinkled with Xavier’s special energy, the band’s vibes will uplift your spirit and get your body swaying.
