The eclectic Cuban charanga ensemble Son Del Monte, led by Manuel Rivera, formerly of the Yambu Orchestra and Sonsublime, returns to Protected content for a night of free social dance! The 12-piece Son Del Monte band incorporates trombones alongside lively vocals and soaring contributions from flute, violin, piano, and congas to merge charanga and conjunto musical styles into a uniquely New York sound that Rivera has dubbed chajunto. You'll call it "perfecto" as this talented cadre of musicians perform a hard-driving whirlwind of melodic power that pays homage to the son cubano greats of past and present. Protected content
