The sound of New Orleans jazz meets the heart of Havana

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Cuba and New Orleans are closer than ever.

WGNO Good Morning New Orleans features reporter Bill Wood says because a couple of Cuban musicians made the big move to the Big Easy.

Victor Campbell started playing piano when he was 5 years old.

His piano teacher was his mom.

David Navarro’s mom is also a piano teacher.

But he made the transition to trumpet and both of them now find their best spotlight in New Orleans.

In the city where jazz was born, it’s being born again with the sound of Cuba.

“New Orleans for me is a trumpet city. A lot of trumpets here. Brass band city,” said Navarro. “New Orleans I feel like is my home.”

Far from home, now right at home for real.

“For real, it’s in my heart. I’m from Cuba but I was reborn here,” said Campbell.
