The figure of Juan de Marcos González is closely linked to the Cuban music scene in recent decades with Sierra Maestra, Buena Vista Social Club.
Producer, arranger, musician and composer Juan de Marcos Gonzalez has continued to show the world the magic of Cuban music with The Afro Cuban All Stars, where four generations of musicians come together, and where he mixes old with new, where listen to Son Montuno, merengue, cha cha, Danzon, guajira, timba and Afro-Cuban songs.
The sound of the Afro Cuban All Stars is made by young and old hands.
Generations represented in the group show that Cuban music did not begin with Buena Vista Social Club and do not stop there either.
Afro Cuban All Stars, rather than an orchestra, under the terms in which they may be defined, it is a cultural project dedicated to show and develop the various genres of Cuban music from the incorporation of elements from different generations and styles.
Over the years, many of its members have become internationally known figures, including musicians as Rubén González, Orlando Cachaíto Lopez, Guillermo Rubalcaba and Manuel El Guajiro Mirabal.
Recent plans Afro Cuban All Stars this year include the production of discs Step Backward and Breaking the Rules, which seek to document the most recent draft of Mark, which brings together on stage several of his best friends expatriates and the island, all with different ideologies, thus sending a message of peace and reconciliation to the Cuban.
