KARIBA plays SALSOCA-BEAT -
KARIBA was founded in 1981 by Juanito Heldmann on the Canary Islands as JUANITO & PARDELO and in 1983 became the JUANITO HELDMANN BAND. 1986 the band changed it's name into KARIBA and has been playing SALSOCA-BEAT in various international line-ups ever since.
SALSOCA-BEAT is the style and sound that Juanito Heldmann created and developed with KARIBA. -
SALSOCA-BEAT combines traditional and modern music from Cuba and other parts of the Caribbean, Latin America and Africa.
KARIBA plays in formations ranging from trios to 12-piece bands. Some 90% of their repertoire consists of compositions by Juanito Heldmann, while the rest of the music is traditional. -
Juanito gave his band the name KARIBA, not only because it might sound caribbean to the audience. In fact the main reason for using this name is, that KARIBA was a holy place in East Africa. The Bantu people believe that not only is KARIBA the navel of the earth, but also the ‘Knot of Time’ is located there, where the past, present and future meet, and are joined together. For thousands of years the Holy Ones of KARIBA lived there in meditation, until the place was destroyed by colonial government.
KARIBA was and is a symbol for freedom, peace and togetherness! -
In august 2000 Juanito travelled, together with his wife Fidelia and his partner LANCELOT "NAYO" SCOTT, to Cuba. A dream came true.

When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds. Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be
Es ist seit Tag eins Fakt , dass ich Dir nachwein.. Ich sitz die ganze Nacht allein vor einem Glas Wein Ich wollt doch stark sein - doch shit ich werd schon wieder schwach Ich weiss noch nichtmal ob es hilft , dass ich hier Lieder mach
Hörst Du mein Herz schlagen ? Es muss den Schmerz tragen. Es würd..Dir gern was sagen und Dir deinen Wert verraten Es will deinen Namen laut singen in jeder Melodie Doch mein Auge weint , weil es nichts an deiner Stelle sieht
Deine Lücke schliesst nie , das ist mir bewusst doch ich verfalle immer wieder tiefer in das gleiche Muster obwohl icvh keine Lust hab , werd..ich jeden Morgen wach Du fehlst und es quält mich stetig die enorme Last
Mich macht die Sorge schwach , dass ich Dich nie wieder seh.. Dass die Zeit ohne Dich und ohne Licht hier nie vergeht Mir tun die Füße weh - kann ich deine Flügel nehm.. Wie soll ich die Probleme in meim..Leben überstehen ?
Willst Du wissen , wie der Text weiter geht ? Dann schau doch in mein erstes Musikvideo rein :)
Schreib mir wenn Du Zeit und Lust hast , was du davon hälst :)
