In 2005 Wil formed what is today one of the most exciting group of talented musicians and performers to come out of Cuba in the past decades. The Orchestra has been touring Europe and Canada since its inception, and now we will finally be graced with their presence in Seattle. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience Cuban salsa at its best!

Son and Son Montuno

Son & Son Montuno
Ann Reynolds & I had recently had the pleasure of meeting with Roberto Borrell to talk about certain aspects of Cuban son & son montuno which seem to cause some confusion.
Two of the topics we covered were:
1. Son montuno – What exactly does “son montuno” refer to? Is it a dance? A musical arrangement? Something else?
2. How is Cuban son danced in Cuba in the 21st century?
In order to avoid taking up too much space, the full text has been posted on the last page of the cubanfolkloricdance.com website:
