Concert reviews(Prensa Latina - Cumbancha) Moscow, Russia - Sexto Sentido female vocal quartet and the band accompanying them, brought Cuban musical flavor to the group’s first promotional tour of Russia, well received by audiences and critics. Producer and musical promoter Vartan Tonoian invited the young singers who won first prize in Havana’s Jojazz festival in 2001.

In Moscow, they presented their latest album Bossa Cubana recorded at Abdala studios in Havana by Elephant Records, and which includes versions of major world hits such as "The Girl from Ipanema" and the Beatles’ Michelle.

ts distinctive feature is a mix of rhythms from Cuba and Brazil. The title song was presented along with a video clip and shown on M-1 television station. Arlety Valdes, Yudelkis Lafuente, Melvis Estevez, and Eliene Borrero graduated from the Amadeo Roldan Institute, and have maintained their same musical format since 1997. Piano player and composer Rolando Luna, bassist Rafael Paceiro, and Russian guitar player Roman Miroshnichenko were among the young musicians that accompanied them.

Sexto Sentido delighted audiences at the El Pajaro Azul and Le Club jazz clubs. According to the vocal group’s manager Cesar Gomez, Sexto Sentido will continue its performances here in the spring season, as part of a tour that will include other European nations.
