Tito Gonzalez y su Quinteto Sonero February 2, 2007

If you like the music of Buena Vista Social Club, then you will love the music of Heriberto "Tito" Gonzalez and his quintet. Before arriving from Cuba to the Bay Area in 2000, Tito played with such famous Cuban groups as Conjunto Estrellas de Chocolate, Aribu Quartet and Chapotin y sus Estrellas. He was specially chosen as a founding member of Nuevo Conjunto de Arsenio Rodriguez, a group carefully structured to represent the music of the famous Cuban tresero Arsenio Rodriguez.

Tonight's performance will combine a seated concert with dancing. Tito and his group will be performing a selection of bolero, danzon, and other slower Cuban rhythms for the first set. However, after the break, we will be clearing the seating to open the floor for dancing as the music heats up!
