Havana, August 1 (PL-RHC)-- Puerto Rican reggae band Cultura Profetica will present a concert on Saturday in Havana along with popular Cuban band Buena Fe.

The San Francisco de Asis square -- located in the heart of Old Havana -- will host the concert organized by the Office of the Historian, RTV Comercial, Musicuba and record label EGREM.
Cultura Profetica was founded in 1996 with the need of a group of musicians to express their social concerns through roots reggae, a sub genre of reggae.

They recorded their first single "Cancion de alerta" in Jamaica, in the study of Bob Marley, to whom they have paid numerous tributes.

The band -- which has become a musical reference in the American continent -- was presented for the first time in the Viña del Mar International Song Festival in Chile this year, where it was awarded with the "Antorcha de Oro" (Golden Torch) and "Gaviota de Plata" (Silver Seagull).

On the other hand, the Cuban band Buena Fe is presenting their new album Soy (I am), comprising 13 songs, some with different musical arrangements, plus three new songs.

The band formed in 1999, recorded its first single in 2001 and holds several awards from the most important events of the Cuban recording industry Cubadisco, including Best-Selling Album and Best Pop-Fusion Album.
