Artist Bio: 

Los Novo is made up of the Novo brothers, Pedro and Roberto, two of the most prolific folk poet/singers in the historical city of Cienfuegos on the south side of Cuba,. Known for their incredible lyrics and emotional melodies, this album can choke up the average listener even if they don't understand a word of Spanish.

Los Novo play a style of Cuban music known as trova, which has had very little exposure in the U.S. This style of music is the rage of coffeehouses and college campuses throughout Cuba.
