Cuba! Starring Simply Red - Recorded Live at El Gran Teatro, Havana

Cuba! Starring Simply Red - Recorded Live at El Gran Teatro, Havana
Here in concert at the Gran Teatro, whether alone in the spotlight or sharing the stage in carnival fashion with the native Cuban players and classically-trained but newly-liberated dancers, Mick Hucknall and Simply Red deliver an inarguable truth: they are one of Britain's best ever bands and this is them at their finest. - Alan Jackson

As a singer and performer, this is a masterclass in every aspect of singing, stage performance, arrangement, sound and video production. I´ve always admired him, but was expecting the usual deterioration of the voice that usually comes with aging. His mastery of his instrument has actually improved. His dynamics and expressiveness combined with flawless technique is sooooooo inspiring. Simply Beautiful!

I am amazed at how the Cuban audience is so respectful. There is no yelling and screaming whistling people up dancing around. Although they did make most of this concert just him singing acapella with a minimum of musical accompaniment. So different from say. which I just watched.. Live at Trafford.... which i just watched. Watched so much of this for so long I can sing most of it by heart. What an awesome band. OK I can see at the end after they crank the music up then people in the audience start dancing...... how could you not??

[@latindall3266]

@Naveen Pathak Actually, my children DO know this music as they were in the car with me when all of the Simply Red tracks were being played. So, YES this music actually does transcend generations. It stands up to the test of time for me and my children.

[@latindall3266]

Every word and it's just as good today as it was then...

[@JuraBL]

I'm 39 from Bosnia and I know most of this songs from my childhood, despite war and shit with not having electricity some of these songs hit the charts. Few years ago I found out Mick and I share the birthday and I atribute that to the fact he's one of the few mellow acts I can listen, being into little bit heavier music in my youth. But Symply Red is world known and widely loved band.

I think to remember walking along the main street and driving a Red Convertible car (may be an Alfa romeo spider😉)... I think you were involved with some Sardinian girl at that time😉. Since then I already started to listen and appreciate a lot your music, and I can't get enough to watch the video of your concert in Cuba, so sorry to have missed it🙁... I'm hoping your next concerts in Bruxelles and Amsterdam will gon on, I will be surely there !!! My dream is to have you back here in my place for a concert!!! May be you remember about our sea and beaches, so I would be REALLY happy to have you as a special guest in my small hotel in Villasimius!! Hope you will answer and get in touch to my mail [e-mail] or phone (whatsapp/Telegram) to +39.3470371677. Please, make my dream come true!!! A great hugh from Sardinia... Giampaolo Carboni

Und hier: Was für ein schönes Theater, was für ein tolles Orchester mit all' den schönen Menschen, und das Ballett natürlich nicht zu vergessen. was für ein zugeneigtes Publikum, die, fast schon Evergreens, unvergeßlichen überaus melodischen Songs von Mick.

I love music and saw many concerts, and sometimes I was a bit disappointed seeing my idols not performing the way they used to. In this case, the band just got better. Great music, great musicians, great performance!

[@nancykane8680]

What can I can say, his voice is exquisite This concert is perfect in every way

[@eshaibraheem4218]

Yes. Everything is exceptional.

Simply Red Cuba! 2005

[@oscarortiz1429]

The production's top-notch quality shines through every aspect. Cuba's musicians set incredibly high standards, exuding pure elegance. The meticulous attention to detail is evident; this concert flows seamlessly, with Mick, the chorus, and the band fully at ease. The sound engineer and musical director have everything impeccably managed. The Cuban symphonic orchestra's performance is flawless, and the choreography strikes a balance between pure joy and professionalism. Cuba's musical legacy in the '50s as the crown jewel of the Caribbean wasn't without reason.

Mick Hucknall is phenomenal singer with a voice and the capability to sing every single time live just like his albums to perfection. Few singers can do this. He is a unique artist and amazing songs just one of his kind. God bless you Mick.❤

[@siageoksam]

Have to agree to this. He sings live as good as he does in the recording studio

[@lorenzaponti5783]

[@cindyemsden3080]

Flows like honey, yet jazzy bluesy and pure bliss to listen to Mick and the band

[@repetanorton3174]

Phenomenal guy and that voice so beautiful. I first heard him when I was in my late 20s and man I just loved him and still listening at 58 years old. Outstanding Performance. Cuba your so lucky.

@@bertplank8011 from Denise f i e l d s hi Bert how are you I just received your comment in regards to simply Red and Cuba and went back to thank you for commenting. I'm reading your comment one of the questions was did you feel like you were actually there at the concert but according to your response you said nope not at all did you not like it because it was a fantastic show that he gave but I do know that everybody has your own opinions and I was just wondering if you could tell me what was it that he wasn't able to make you feel that way. So if you could please let me know I certainly would appreciate it very much.

[@ElianeLemos-dr1qt]

SIMPLESMENTE DIVINO, COMO SEMPRE, IMPECÁVEL, ME ARRANCOU LÁGRIMAS DE FELICIDADES . PARABÉNS, POR TER SE APRESENTADO EM CUBA. VIDA LONGA MICKY.

[@flexflex5966]

Mick Hucknall is a genius, and a very great gentleman. I follow simply red since I was 13 years old. I felt in love for the very first time with a music band .

[@sherstone]

He's so underrated it hurts. Such immense talent. "For your babies" kills me, always has, always will.

[@lazarddiankson1400]

He's not underrated imo, it's just there are a lot more artists now but Mick has always been there. As an 80s child I've always been a fun of his and really nice to see he's still going strong 💪! One of those artists who transcends race, genres and generations. I just love 💘❤ him!

[@nickgarrett4213]

underated ??? i saw him at glastonbury 86 whenhefirst came on the scene moneys to tight to mention class act can hold an audience prime example this gig after 34 years in the industry.

[@skygazer6898]

sherri d Where did you get this from? Mick Hucknall is hardly underrated

[@skygazer6898]

sherri d The most successful artist (Simpy Red) of the 1990's and STARS was the best-selling album of 1991 & 1992... Hardly under-rated

[@voightkampff7399]

The man is an undisputed King.

[@OneAdam12Adam]

Genius. We need more of this in the world.

[@josephinedussol1374]

I'm from France, and I've been a fan since my teens until now...Simply Red, you always keep your lovely voice! I love the modern classic orchestration, congratulations to the violinists, pianist, bassist, guitarist, and choristers, I would have loved to attend... Congratulations again Simply Red

[@Mario-xr3jo]

This show is pure magic. One of the best things I have seen in my whole life!

[@alessandrafrare6405]

È il sogno della mia vita!!

[@simplycootje1]

Wow that voice!!! I'm a fan of Simplyred since 1984 and always wil be! Thank you Mick for all your lovely music

[@razor_no1]

From 🇦🇹 Vienna 🇦🇹 Austria ❤🎉 : I watch this wonderful concert multiple times *every year* What an amazing night in Cuba !! 🎶 WOW 🎵♥🥇🏆

[@ralf2491]

I saw him 4 weeks ago in germany…. it was an unbelievable show- thx Mick for throwing me back to my childhood

[@MadonnaGrogan]

Wow lucky you😊

[@clukait]

In 1985, nearly finished the school, Simply Red accompanied my life, but it wasn't that music I liked . Today, in an age a little after a half of a century, I love that what you're singing, Mr. Hucknall. Thank you !

[@Rio-by1eh]

Same here...when things get embedded in your brain at youthful age it’s like a potient later on in senior years

[@cherls15]

This man is an utter pleasure and joy to listen to. I can't for the life of me explain the sugary, sparkling sweetness of his voice. It's like caramel, dripping into butter, pouring into honey all onto a canvas made of silk. This was my childhood, my teenagehood and now my adulthood... So my life. Thank you Mick ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@55scer73]

As a long time fan, it seems Mick has matured, grown, gotten even sexier---and STILL can deliver a performance par excellence! Bravo, what a great concert...thanks for posting!
