César "Pupy" Pedroso, one of Cuba's most distinguished
composers/bandleaders and pianists, brings his 16 piece orchestra
to the Vieux Clocher in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada (just 215 miles from Boston) for the Cuban dance party concert of the year.
Considered 'the soul of Cuban dance music", Pupy Pedroso is the composer
of many of the most popular songs of Los Van Van, of which he was one of
the original founding members starting in 1969.
In 2002, Pupy shocked the Cuban music world by leaving Los Van Van
to form his own group 'PUPY y Los Que Son Son' , who instantly shot to the
front line of Cuban dance groups to rival the popularity of even
Los Van Van themselves.
Over the course of three solo albums Pupy Pedroso has reaffirmed his place
as one of Cuba's most gifted composers, while leading his 16 piece band
of players half his age in a spectacular music show that has toured Europe
and Latin America.
PUPY Y Los Que Son SON will be internationally releasing their new album on the Canadian tour. This canadian tour will be to promote his new CD.
