Suns of Mercury began in Havana as a funk/hip-hop experiment. The project grew to include collaborative sessions with artists in Rio de Janeiro, San Francisco, Beijing, Sydney, and London. Described by a reviewer as “Pink Floyd meets Carlos Santana,” the band’s sound gained international recognition in 2013 through a showcase on the BBC World Service. The band convokes prominent world music artists, crossing cultural borders through high energy funk, rock, and Latin sounds.
