Starting off the night with some Cuban grooves, co-leaders Elizabeth Rodriguez and Magdelys Savigne fronted a quartet that got the crowd swaying and dancing. Like a particularly favourful meal where you don't notice the spicy heat until your forehead breaks out in a sweat, songs like this one can take you by surprise, starting off slow and soulful before the simmering groove takes over.

^* The title to this one was called out at the start. I think it was "Águila", but given my lack of Spanish fluency, this is very much subject to confirmation.
