KEKOSON & THE CUBAN SOUNDS - FREE CUBAN FIESTA at Brunswick Ballroom

Cuban Son masters: Kekoson & The Cuban Sounds brings you a FREE Cuban Fiesta in the heart of Melbourne at the Brunswick Ballroom. Their music sets any dance floor on fire and gives the punters a memorable musical occasion to remember. 

In 2001, Keko Virán travelled to Cuba to meet Compay Segundo, Ibrahim Ferrer and Cachaíto López – his idols from the legendary "Buena Vista Social Club" and embrace the essence of the country and the people that inspired the rich, earthy roots of modern salsa music. The trip inspired the formation of Australia's premier Latin band, with a nod to the Buena Vista through its strong Cuban Son foundations. 'The idea was to form a musical group to research and promote rhythmic Afro-Latin styles and have lots of fun with it along the way.' As if channelling the very essence of Cuban street music, Keko fronts this energetic and talented musician's group. 

Kekoson's members have toured Australia and abroad and have performed with World's best. Acclaimed as Australia's most authentic and awarded Cuban Son Music exponents, theirs is the only traditional Cuban Son band recognised by a Cuban Ambassador in Australia. 'I like how playing this music makes me feel, but more importantly, I like how it makes other people feel.' Keko says with a smile. 'I love to see everyone dancing and enjoying themselves just as people used to a century ago in Cuba.'
