Notable Acts At ECPAC

Here are some notable "headliner" acts that stopped in at the East County Performing Arts Center (ECPAC) theater!

• Afro-Cuban All Stars -- In 1976, then-Havana-based Juan de Marcos González founded Sierra Maestra, a large band that specialized in danceable Cuban son music, one of the root sounds of salsa. Maestra became popular in Cuba, toured Europe, and recorded a number of albums between still beloved by hardcore fans of Cuban music. In the late '90s, González began reaching a larger audience with two bands he helped assemble, the Afro-Cuban All Stars and the Buena Vista Social Club. A conductor, arranger, and percussionist who plays the tres (a small guitar-like instrument), González, now 57, brings a new version of the Afro-Cuban All Stars on tour every few years.
