ONLINE BROADCAST (Originally recorded MAY 3, 2019)
The enduring spirit of the Buena Vista Social Club was felt and heard in this superb performance filmed in May of 2019. After gaining international fame for reviving the classic sound of Cuban son, tres master Juan de Marcos González turned the Afro-Cuban All Stars into a sensational showcase for Cuba’s most prodigious young musicians. While long revered in Latin America and Europe as a founding member of Cuba’s great son revival band Sierra Maestra, de Marcos first gained notice in the US as founder of the Buena Vista Social Club. The Afro-Cuban All Stars not only features a multi-generational cast, the group draws on both classic Cuban styles like son and danzón and contemporary timba dance rhythms in this dance-inspiring performance.
