Bunnett and her husband, trumpeter and producer Larry Cramer, created Spirits Of Havana with Cuban musicians back in 1992. More recently, Bunnett launched Maqueque to help Cuba's young women overcome music business machismo, but it soon became a successful all-girl touring band, Bunnett's eloquent soprano sax and flute threading Afro-Cuban rhythms and vocals. The lineup has changed since the self-titled 2014 debut and 2016 follow-up Oddara, but pianist Danae Olano and drummer Yissy Garcia are still core members. We no longer hear the great violinist Elizabeth Rodriguez, but guests this time include sacred-steel guitarist Nicole 'Nikki D' Brown. A treat. SH
