What is Son Cubano?
Son Cubano is a vibrant and soulful style of music that originated in Cuba, influencing many popular Latin dance styles, including Salsa. Often considered the ‘parent’ of Salsa, Son’s distinctive rhythms and graceful dance movements make it an essential part of Cuban culture. We invite you to come and experience the magic of this beautiful style of music and dance, and to share in the passion and energy of the Son Cubano community.
Organised by the official ambassador of Son Cubano in the UK, Damarys Farres, along with master Son Partner Juan Carlos and other renowned Cuban dancers and promoters, this event promises to be an unforgettable celebration.
