The Cuban musician Adalberto Álvarez will chair the First International Meeting of Masters to dance Son and Casino, which will be held from October 28 to 30 in Spain, reported Prensa Latina.
The organizing committee chose the Cuban musician by the more than 30 years he has devoted to promote those sonorities.
The first edition of the event in Madrid will host followers and instructors of both dance genres of Cuban popular music.
El Caballero del son (the gentleman of son) said he is already preparing conditions for the event, and considered a privilege to head it.
The program includes workshops of son, casino and other popular dances, talks and theoretical spaces, demonstrative performances of dances with live music, and seminars on Cuban and Afro-Cuban music for teenagers and children.
There will also be live concerts, such as the one by Adalberto Álvarez and his Orchestra, along with special guests, plus exhibitions of renowned casino instructors.
Composer, arranger and bandleader, Adalberto Alvarez is considered the Cuban son singer par excellence, and his career includes anthological innovations and contributions to this traditional genre.
In 2011 he was nominated to the Latin Grammy in the category of Tropical Music with his phonogram El Son de altura and to date he has recorded more than 30 albums.
