About

The Afro-Cuban All Stars have one of the finest pedigrees of any band in Cuba, led by the incredible Juan de Marcos, a co-founder of Cuban son group Sierra Maestra, as well the musical director of Buena Vista Social Club’s first recording sessions. While firmly rooted in traditional Cuban styles such as son, danzón, and rumba, the Afro-Cuban All Stars are equally masterful playing salsa and timba thanks to their mix of veteran and young musicians. Today they pay tribute to the beautiful country of Mexico by performing some songs from their new album Viva México.
