Juan De Marcos live in Los Angeles

Experience Juan De Marcos live on August 7th

Juan De Marcos, a prominent figure in the contemporary Cuban son and timba music scenes, is scheduled to perform at The United Theater On Broadway in Los Angeles on August 7, 2026. De Marcos is best known as the musical director of the internationally acclaimed Buena Vista Social Club, and also leads his own band, which blends traditional Cuban rhythms with modern arrangements. His work frequently features vibrant percussion, sophisticated brass sections, and compelling vocal harmonies rooted in the *son cubano* tradition. He often incorporates elements of jazz and other Afro-Cuban genres into his compositions.

The United Theater On Broadway originally opened in 1927 as a lavish movie palace during the Golden Age of Hollywood. Designed by architect B. Marcus Priteca, it showcased both films and live vaudeville performances. After decades of operation, the theater experienced periods of decline and closure throughout the latter half of the 20th century. A significant restoration project completed in 2023 revitalized the venue, preserving its original Art Deco architectural details while updating it with modern technology. It now functions as a multi-purpose entertainment space hosting concerts, theatrical productions, and other live events.
