Concert Hall
7.30pm

from $48

Dance to the infectious beat of Afro-Cuban music! Brought together by musical director Juan de Marcos Gonzalez, the Afro-Cuban All Stars four-generation ensemble was formed to explore a broader scope than the Buena Vista projects. A Toda Cuba Le Gusta , which was released in 1997, was the first to be recorded in the now legendary Buena Vista Social Club™ sessions.

Afro-Cuban All Stars employs a diversity of vibrant styles including classic son montuno, contemporary timba, swinging big band guajira, Afro-Cuban jazz, danzón, abakua, bolero and more. In this hypnotic mix, the band also pays homage to the multifarious moods of Cuban music and links the past with the present.

Now at this one-night-only concert in Singapore, Gonzalez is all geared up to present his new edition of Afro-Cuban All Stars and their new album Distinto, Diferente. "We have to use all the heritage of Cuban music to create a sound of the future," says Gonzalez.

We guarantee you a night to remember!
