Juan de Marcos & the Afro-Cuban All Stars

Returning to Overture for an all-new show! Feel the pulse of Havana come alive with Juan de Marcos & the Afro-Cuban All Stars, a powerhouse orchestra celebrating the rich, electrifying spirit of Cuban music across generations. Founded by visionary bandleader Juan de Marcos, this ever-evolving ensemble blends timeless traditions with fresh energy, uniting legendary performers and rising stars on one vibrant stage. From son and jazz to big band brilliance, every note tells a story—rooted in history, alive in the moment.
