Juan de Marcos’ Afro-Cuban All Stars is a Cuban ensemble led by bandleader and arranger Juan de Marcos González that celebrates traditional Cuban popular music—son, bolero, guajira and Afro-Cuban rumba—through energetic arrangements and veteran guest musicians. The group performs at The United Theater on Broadway in downtown Los Angeles, presenting a lively concert that highlights the island’s rich musical heritage and the band’s historical ties to the Cuban music revival of the 1990s. The show typically features vibrant horns, layered percussion and call-and-response vocals that make it a notable event for fans of world music and Latin jazz.
