Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Mesaje formed in Havana, Cuba in 1997, led by vocalist and songwriter Eliades Ochoa. Their music draws from traditional Cuban folk, salsa, and Afro-Cuban rhythms, though they've also incorporated jazz, pop, and reggae elements over time. They released albums like "Guajiro Natural" in 1998 and "Tributo al Son" in 2000.
Their song "New Horizon" became something of an anthem for them, appearing on their 2011 album of the same name. Other tracks like "Original Flame" and "Sailboat" show their range within that Cuban-rooted but outward-looking sound. They've kept recording through the years, with "Sonando desde Cuba" arriving in 2014.
As a Cuban band working through periods of political isolation and economic constraints, their music sometimes addressed social themes. This gave their work a certain weight beyond just entertainment, though they never abandoned the rhythmic foundations that made their music move.
