COMPASS 4635

(Nashville) September 9, 2014 - The passionate Cecilia Noël returns with her newest album, HAVANA ROCKS, a Latin-infused collection of pop/rock classics recorded in Havana, Cuba. Together, Noël and crew combine elements of salsa, soul, jazz, funk, and Afro-Cuban music to deliver an infectious Latin take on MTV-era mega-hits. The album includes covers of Devo’s “Whip It,” Gary Numan’s “Cars” and ACDC’s “You Shook Me All Night Long,” along with hits from her husband Colin Hay's 80's hit machine Men At Work, Thin Lizzy, David Bowie, Van Halen and more—all propelled by deep percussive grooves and Noël’s dynamic vocals.

Watch the Official Music Video for "WHIP IT" below:

“If you’ve ever wanted to hear a boogaloo version of “Whip It”,” a timbachart of “You Shook Me All Night Long,” or salsa-dance to “Cars,” then Havana Rocks is definitely the album for you. Seriously, this is more fun than should be legal.” – WRIR’s Global A Go-Go

"Havana Rocks because Cecilia rocks!" – Oscar Hernández, Grammy winning Musician, Producer, Pianist

“Havana Rocks is near pure pop perfection that translates seamlessly into salsa..a 'must hear' is the Afro-Cuban redux and perfect accompaniment for Noël's fetish wear on the back cover: Devo's 'Whip It'. Whip it good!” – World Beat International
