Kekoson @ BAR OUSSOU!

Cuban Son masters: Kekoson & The Cuban Sounds brings you a Cuban Fiesta in the heart of Melbourne in Australia; their music sets any dance floor on fire and gives the punters a memorable musical occasion to remember! 

In 2001, Keko Virán travelled to Cuba to meet Compay Segundo, Ibrahim Ferrer and Cachaíto López – his idols from the legendary “Buena Vista Social Club” and to embrace the essence of the country and the people that inspired the rich, earthy roots of modern salsa music. 

The trip inspired the formation of Australia’s premier Son band, with a nod to the Buena Vista through its strong Cuban Son foundations. ‘The idea was to form a musical group to research and promote rhythmic Afro-Latin styles and have lots of fun with it along the way.’
