Album Notes

“ A five -piece groove machine ” Who Weekly

“ As a live act, these guys are a must see ” DB Magazine

“Oxo Cubans play cabaret from the asylum.....the most serious fun you’re likely to experience in a night-club all year” Adelaide Advertiser

“They shun the convention of girl leaves boy and boy writes song” The Age

Tightly arranged Slightly deranged


In 1987 five Oxo Cubans began tinkering with tones on park benches and at peak beaches. Now five albums and fifty eight tours later these court jesters on just ten legs are the know it alls of halls balls malls and festivals. Touring without tiring, they have featured many times on Australian national TV and Radio. Watch your grandparents’ grins grow as they cajole chuckles from the cheeks of children and make musical grooves for smooth movers while busking in bus stops with baby boomers.

Tough enough to get your teeth into
Tender enough to take your teeth out to

Brass percussion and vocal contrapuntal funk !
