JULIO AVILA CUBAN BAND & ELEGANCIA CUBANA

Vancouver's own Julio Avila Cuban Band, formed in 2015, delivers an electrifying and authentic take on traditional Cuban music. Led by Guantánamo-born bassist, vocalist, and composer Julio Avila, the ten-piece ensemble features a dynamic mix of Cuban-born and local musicians. Their sound is a vibrant journey through salsa, son, and bachata, propelled by intricate percussion, robust horns, and Avila's powerful vocals. An evening with this band is an immersive celebration of Cuban musical heritage.
