Juan de Marcos Gonz?lez thinks his music is like a drug. "It's a kind of cultural cocaine," he said. "People fall in love with Cuban music."
De Marcos and his band, the Afro-Cuban All Stars, will perform at the Hult Center on Friday night on the fourth stop of their first U.S. tour in six years.
"Afro-Cuban music is a rock 'n' roll of the Caribbean. It's a powerful music that mixes elements of jazz with tropical music in complex musical terms," de Marcos said, explaining his sound. "Whenever you hear the Cuban music, you move your hips."
