With 'Mozart y Mambo', Sarah Willis has created an album that combines the music of one of classical music's most famous composers, W. A. Mozart, with traditional Cuban music. "Mozart would have been a good Cuban," she was told in Havana, and that inspired her to create this project.

With the Havana Lyceum Orchestra and its spirited conductor José Antonio Méndez Padrón, she presents works for horn and orchestra by W. A. Mozart (the Concerto No. 3, K. 447 and the Concerto-Rondo, K. 371) alongside a Rondo alla Mambo (inspired by the Concerto No. 3, K. 447), a Sarahnade Mambo, a Cuban version of "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" and other musical delights. A number of well-known local musicians are involved in this recording, which also pays tribute to the Cuban repertoire with two songs, including Dos Gardenias (made famous by Ibrahim Ferrer and the Buena Vista Social Club).
