*Son de Cuba is who they are and what they play**.
Launched at Rogue & Vagabond in August 2019, the Son de Cuba Quarteto was the first-ever New Zealand and more specifically Wellington-based 100% Cuban Quarteto in Australasia, if not beyond.
The Quarteto relaunched as a Sexteto at CubaDupa in March 2024, the largest and craziest festival in New Zealand.
***
**The ensemble's name literally means They are from Cuba... It also means Son (style of Cuban music from the 50s popularised by the Buena Vista Social Club) from Cuba”. And if you play on the translation and stretch a bit it also can mean Son(s) of Cuba.
