Eleye de Cuba, a seven piece traditional band, comes direct from the historic Caribbean coastal town of Trinidad, Cuba.  Eleye de Cuba is a favourite at Cuban fiestas, festivals, and traditional celebrations. They are regular performers at Trinidads Teatro Brunet, Casa de Trova and the Palenque de las Congos Reales.

Eleyes music reflects a broad range of traditional and popular Cuban music. The groups repertoire of music genres pleases world beat lovers, jazz enthusiasts, salsa dancers and classical Cuban music devotees.  At many performances you may see over a hundred people participating in a Chachacha mega-dance lesson. Their performances also include Trova, Son, Salsa, Afro-Cuban, and Bolero as well as original compositions. 

For 10 weeks in 2007, Eleye de Cuba performed at over 40 venues for incredibly enthusiastic audiences throughout Saskatchewan and into Alberta. Because the response was so great, Blue Sky Cultural Connections, Inc. of Regina, Saskatchewan, is inviting Eleye de Cuba to perform throughout Western Canada during the summer of 2008.
