Thirteen young Cuban musicians on stage along with Alain Pérez, the man-orchestra, a genius of bass and arrangements, flying among bass, percussion, and piano. He sings, dances, borrows instruments to give us a salsa, timba, and a Latin jazz show, always accompanied by his elephant head cane, in homage to the great Benny Moré.
Inspired by flamenco through his work with Paco de Lucia, he created La Orquesta in Cuba and offers two albums nominated for the Latin Grammy Awards. His talent has allowed him to play internationally with renowned orchestras and musicians such as Los Vanvan, Irakere, Isaac Delgado, Paquito Rivera, Celia Cruz, Javier Maso Caramelo and many others. In Spain, he shared the stage with artists such as Enrique Morente, Diego El Cigala and Niño Josele.
