Bringing Cuba Home: Authentic Cuban Son Since 2001

Formed after Keko Virán’s life‑changing 2001 pilgrimage to Havana, where he met legends Compay Segundo, Ibrahim Ferrer and Cachaíto López – from the “Buena Vista Social Club.” Kekoson brings the raw, street‑level energy of Traditional Cuban Son to Australian stages. Recognised by a Cuban Ambassador as the nation’s sole authentic Cuban Son ensemble, this band fuses classic Afro‑Latin rhythms with a modern Aussie vibe.

Since debuting, Kekoson has toured coast‑to‑coast, sharing stages with world‑renowned Latin artists. In 2012 Keko earned “Australia’s Best Latin Band” award with San Lázaro.

Their shows are a celebration of dance‑floor‑ready grooves, soulful melodies, and the communal spirit that made 1920’s Cuban street music legendary.

Whether you’re looking for a festival highlight, a venue centrepiece, or a cultural showcase, Kekoson delivers an immersive, high‑energy experience that transports audiences straight to the heart of Havana without ever leaving Australia.

Don’t miss the chance to see Kekoson live, bring your friends and treat your loved ones with an unforgettable taste of Havana right here in Australia.
