About the event
Join the crowd at Bar Oussou for an unforgettable evening of Latin dance music from Cuba to Melbourne featuring two bands back to back.
Bodega Club is a five-piece Latin rock band from Melbourne, blending Latin rhythms with alternative rock to create a dark, sensual sound. Their music fuses Latin flavor with the raw energy of rock, offering a seductive journey into passion and temptation 🎤🎶Cuban Son masters: Kekoson & The Cuban Sounds brings you a Cuban Fiesta in the heart of Melbourne in Australia; their music sets any dance floor on fire and gives the punters a memorable musical occasion to remember 🌍In 2001, Keko Virán travelled to Cuba to meet Compay Segundo, Ibrahim Ferrer and Cachaíto López – his idols from the legendary “Buena Vista Social Club” and to embrace the essence of the country and the people that inspired the rich, earthy roots of modern salsa music.
The trip inspired the formation of Australia’s premier Son band, with a nod to the Buena Vista through its strong Cuban Son foundations. ‘The idea was to form a musical group to research and promote rhythmic Afro-Latin styles and have lots of fun with it along the way.
