Cuban guitarist and vocalist Juan de Marcos González spent the better part of his career as a band leader—in Cuban folk band Sierra Maestra; in the indomitable Buena Vista Social Club, revivalists of prerevolutionary Cuban music (son, bolero, guajira, danzón, etc.); and in its spin-off group, the Afro-Cuban All Stars, which took the Club’s sounds and piled more modern Cuban music influences on top (chachachá, salsa, son montuno, timba, rumba, abakua). The Afro-Cuban All Stars also serves as a platform to showcase young, rising musicians along with its rotating multigenerational crew. This two-night stand will feature de Marcos’s latest batch of talents.
