Behind the recording
The story of the album.
Habana 500 is Ricky Castillo’s debut album, conceived as a musical tribute to the city where he was born. Its songs move through the rhythms and melodies of Cuban tradition while reflecting on place, identity, and belonging.
Havana has long been a meeting point for musical languages and cultural exchange. The album responds to that living history through a personal, contemporary guitar perspective rather than attempting to contain it.
