A Vintage Havana Style Cover of ‘Hotel California’

Postmodern Jukebox accompanied talented showman Rogelio Douglas Jr. in a spicy cover of the classic Eagles song “Hotel California” in the style of a vintage performance at El Tropicana in Havana. This distinctive style was further enhanced by Afro-Cuban percussionist Giovanni Rodriguez and drummer Petar Janjic, plus a lovely round of salsa with guest Miss Sunny Holiday.

This time, we’re taking the Eagles’ 1977 classic, “Hotel California” back to Havana’s El Tropicana, complete with Afro-Cuban percussion by Giovanni Rodriguez, drums by Petar Janjic, and a Sunny Holiday Salsa cameo. ¡Bienvenidos al Hotel California!
