Cuba’s famed Sierra Maestra, founded in 1976, has played a key role in Cuban traditional music. A leading guardian of the Cuban son tradition, the musical soul of Cuba and foundation of modern salsa, the ensemble has been instrumental in reviving and now redefining this infectious dance music for new generations and reintroducing it into the Cuban mainstream. Its repertoire ranges from classics of the Golden Age to stirring new works and includes selections from its Latin Grammy-nominated album Sonando Ya (World Village).

“Music doesn’t come more energizing than Havana’s glorious Sierra Maestra" - The List (UK)
