Son de Cuba is a quintet created in August 2015 by musicians from USA and Cuba. We play different kinds of genres such as Salsa, Timba, Son, Merengue, Bolero, Cumbia, Bachata, Latin Jazz, etc. The band consists of: Vocals, piano and bass piano player, Nelson Morales; singer and minor percussion, Geisy Almanza; Sax, flute and vocals, Ramon Brizuela Martinez; Timbal player, Omar Pons and percussion, vocals and band manager, Tony Gonzalez. We are based in Portland, Oregon.
Since the majority of the band members are Cubans, we have roots in Latin, African, and Jazz rhythms. We blend this vast knowledge of different beats together in classic and modern Latin songs, exuding energy, happiness, and encouraging you to dance. With only five performers, we have a full sound and will draw a crowd with our energy and love for our music. Dancing is encouraged, we may even join you!

Latin Rock Exchange plays Latin rock, jazz and Chicano classics that we all know and love from Santana, War, Barrabas, Yesca, The Buena Vista Social Club, Pink Martini, Jobim, Bublé, and contemporary hits, always with a Latin percussion flavor. High energy for any celebration or concert. Based in NE Portland and drawing talent from the PDX area, the band can be a four piece or a twelve piece. For The Abbey we will be a seven piece; drums, percussion, bass, guitar, keyboards, vocals and sax/flute. We are excited to be sharing the bill with Son De Cuba, who are the real thing. It will be a great night of latin influenced music.
