Son Mayor & Changüí Majadero + DJ sets by Miguelito Friday, July 22 8:00 - 11:00pm (doors at 7:30) Union Station Historic Ticketing Hall FREE | All ages
A night of salsa and Cuban roots music, featuring Son Mayor and Changüí Majadero.
One of the most sought-after Latin bands in Los Angeles, Son Mayor brings a captivating vintage and contemporary Cuban sound. Voted “Best Salsa Band” by the LA Weekly and led by the Ortiz brothers–Eddie, Julian, Alfred “El Niño,” and Georgie–the band features a luscious danceable blend of horn, bass, and percussion.
Changüí is the predecessor of Son Cubano & Salsa, a style of music from the region of Guantanamo, Cuba, with origins in the 1800s. With a modern/contemporary touch, Changüí Majadero delivers stunning vocals, fiery bongo de monte solos, marimbula-bass thump, driving guayo and maracas, and blazing tres-cubano solos.
