In March 2024, Tristan called together the best young UK jazz musicians, combined them with the top Latino musicians in London and formed the UK’s biggest Cuban Salsa orchestra – Timba Británica.
The 15 piece, cross cultural power house is dedicated to performing the intricate, groove based arrangements of Cuban Salsa – an intoxicating mix of son, rumba, salsa, funk and rock, all played by 15 of the most sought after session musicians in the UK.
Within the group’s first 6 months they had recorded a series of Live Sessions at Terminal Studios in London, Headlined the Latino stage at Glastonbury, performed a UK tour in collaboration with Ex-Los Van Van, Grammy Award winning vocalist, Mayito Rivera and headlined the UK Havana Salsa Festival.
