After the Afro-Cuban All Stars concert, meet the legendary Juan de Marcos in an informal and engaging Q&A conducted by Chelis Lopez of KPOO-FM Radio, followed by a reception.

A central figure in Cuban music for three decades, Juan de Marcos has set himself a lifetime mission: to show the wealth, diversity and vitality of Cuban music to the world. His work with super groups and incredible artists such as the Afro-Cuban All Stars, the Buena Vista Social Club, Rubén González, Ibrahim Ferrer, Sierra Maestra and others has had extraordinary success in introducing the whole range of Cuban music around the globe.

*Note: This reception and Q&A session is NOT at Yerba Buena Gardens. It is 1 block away at the California Historical Society.
