"Hard-to-beat Cuban traditional music." — Amazon.com
Led by singer and guitarist Juan De Marcos, the mastermind behind the Buena Vista Social Club, this exuberant 17-piece jazz orchestra plays the sons, mambos, and cha-chas from Havana's "Golden Era," but with a modern edge and funk to keep the music swinging hard and in the present. The Afro-Cuban All Stars are at the forefront of the Cuban musical revival, have been nominated for several Grammy's, and are committed to preserving and showcasing the heritage, vitality, and diversity of Cuba's music.
