Co-founded by Jose Elias in 2011, Cortadito focuses on performing traditional Cuban music of the early 20th century. From Son Montuno, Guaracha, Boleros, Nengon, and Bolero Son, this dynamic ensemble brings the listener back to a time when Trio Matamoros, or Ignacio Piniero ruled Cuban music, the era when popular music was Cuban Music and Son Montuno was influencing music throughout the globe. The band has been named “Best Latin Act” by the Miami New Times and has been acknowledged by the City of North Miami for their representation of traditional Cuban culture. Come celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and Cortadito’s tenth anniversary at Art After Dark!
