Just in time for a summer night in June, Ron & the Red Beans have come out with a sexy, swing cover of Camila Cabello’s Havana! Bringing a sunny, brassy feel and playful verve to the Latin rhythms of the song, Ron & the Red Beans make you want to kick up your heels and dance! Evoking the feel of New Orleans, where different music traditions met and merged, creating something bold and new, the band swings with old time elegance and seductive heat. You can feel their vivacious energy and warm rapport, as they take the song for a jazzy spin. Josette Wiggan is mesmerizing, music and movement are one as she dances. Even if half your heart is in Havana, Ron & the Red Beans are sure to steal the other half with this flirty and fun cover!
