Timbale player Manny Rivera leads Son Del Monte, a powerhouse of Cuban dance music with a hard-driving New York edge that captivates listeners and dancers alike. Soaring vocals and lively contributions from flute, violin, trombone, piano, and conga drums fuel a scorching Cuban dance sound that honors great bands of past decades while creating something new and vibrant. Winner of Taíno Nation Entertainment’s 2018 Band of the Year award, Son Del Monte takes audiences on a musical journey to Havana.
