Havana Latin Rhythms with Son De Cuba
Son de Cuba is a quintet based in Portland, created in August 2015 by musicians from the USA and Cuba. The majority of the group are Cubans with roots in Latin, African, and Jazz rhythms. They blend this vast knowledge of beats in classic and modern Latin songs.
Son de Cuba plays different genres, including Salsa, Timba, Son, Merengue, Bolero, Cumbia, Bachata, and Latin Jazz. With only five performers, they have a full sound and will draw a crowd with their energy, joy, and love of music. Dancing is encouraged, and they may even join you.
