Son Montuno presents Buena Vista Social club Tribute with Grammy nominated musicians!
About This Event
Son Montuno brings a Buena Vista Social Club tribute to Groupmuse NYC with a lineup that includes Grammy‑nominated musicians. The New York–based group applies a Rock/Pop perspective to Cuban son traditions, favoring tight interlocking rhythms, arranged horn lines, cyclical vamps and space for improvisation, with an emphasis on ensemble clarity.
About Buena Vista Social Club Tribute
At Groupmuse NYC, this Buena Vista Social Club Tribute traces the afterlife of the Cuban son repertoire that entered U.S. ears as much through diaspora circuits as through the famous late-1990s revival. The set draws on son montuno and related dance forms, performed by Grammy-nominated musicians alongside Latin music specialists. In New York, where Afro-Caribbean bands have long shaped club culture and neighborhood festivals, the material reads less like nostalgia than a record of exchange. The most telling detail is the discipline: ensemble playing that treats groove as history, not decoration.
