GRAMMY Award winning pianist, composer and educator Arturo O’Farrill is a leader of the “first family of Afro-Cuban Jazz” (New York Times). In 2002, he established the GRAMMY® winning Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra in order to bring the vital musical traditions of Afro Latin jazz to a wider general audience, and to greatly expand the contemporary Latin jazz big band repertoire through commissions to artists across a wide stylistic and geographic range.

A sonera of the classic Cuban style and a priestess of the Yorùbán diaspora, treasured Bay Area singer Bobi Céspedes was described by the Los Angeles Times as “a Cuban powerhouse of a woman who demonstrates on record and in concert that she is the worthy successor to the throne of Celia Cruz.”

Camilo Landau, leader of the Son Jarocho All Stars, is a musician with a lifetime of experience under his belt. He began learning the guitar and Cuban tres at the age of twelve from his uncle, GRAMMY®-nominated record producer Greg Landau. He is a 2016 GRAMMY® nominee, and the founder of the San Francisco Son Jarocho Festival.
