Afro-Cuban All Stars live in Los Angeles

Experience Afro-Cuban All Stars live on August 7th

Afro-Cuban All Stars will be performing at The United Theater On Broadway in Los Angeles on August 7, 2026. The group is renowned for its vibrant and energetic performances of *son cubano*, a genre of Cuban music that blends Spanish and African influences. Their sound incorporates elements of *rumba*, *guaracha*, and *danzón*, often featuring rich vocal harmonies, intricate percussion, and prominent brass sections. Formed in 1996 by Juan de Marcos González, the band initially served as a vehicle to record music from a project documenting traditional Cuban musicians; it quickly evolved into a celebrated ensemble in its own right, known for reviving classic Cuban songs and introducing them to international audiences.

The United Theater On Broadway originally opened in 1927 as a Vaudeville house and movie palace. Throughout its history, it hosted a variety of performances including live music, film screenings, and stage shows. The theater underwent significant renovations in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, facing periods of closure and disrepair before being revitalized as a live performance venue.
