Afro-Cuban All Stars is a Cuban ensemble led by bandleader Juan de Marcos González that celebrates classic Cuban dance and son traditions through big-band arrangements and veteran musicians from the island’s golden era. This concert takes place at The United Theater on Broadway in downtown Los Angeles, a restored 1927 movie palace turned performing-arts venue noted for its ornate lobby and vaulted, mirrored ceiling. The performance highlights the group’s blend of Afro-Cuban rhythms, son, bolero, and descarga improvisation, making it a notable showcase of Cuban musical heritage in a landmark LA theater.
