Son de Cuba is a quintet created in August 2015 by musicians from The USA and Cuba. We are based in Portland,Oregon. The majority of us are Cubans with roots in Latin, African, and Jazz rhythms. We blend this vast knowledge of beats together in classic and modern Latin Songs. We play different genres including Salsa, Timba, Son, Merengue, Bolero, Cumbia, Bachata, Latin Jazz.
The band: Vocals, bass and piano player, Nelson Morales; lead singer and minor percussion, Geisy Almanza; Sax, flute and vocals, Ramon Brizuela Martinez; Timbal player, Omar Pons; and percussion, vocals and band manager, Tony Gonzalez. With only five performers, we have a full sound and will draw a crowd with our energy, joy and love of music. Dancing is encouraged, we may even join you!
