JULIO AVILA
Born and raised in Guantanamo, Cuba, in a family of established musicians, Julio Avila's musical journey dates back to when he was 7 years old.
Listening to his parents and older siblings perform, Julio first developed a strong bond with the traditional tune, changüí, which has roots in his native Guantanamo.
Surrounded by this vibrant and rich musical heritage, Julio perfected playing his principal instrument, the bass, while taking on the lead singer, arranger and composer roles as well.
As a member of the internationally renowned group La Sonora Universal, Julio performed throughout Europe and with El Grupo Cubano Brisas Del Palmar he has toured Western Canada since 2005.
A resident of Vancouver since 2015, Julio continues to captivate the audiences with his powerful and warm voice. He is the founder and music director of the Julio Avila Cuban Band, which delivers passionate performances of salsa, son, bachata, boleros and cumbias.
