JUAN DE MARCOS AND THE AFRO-CUBAN ALL STARS (Sunday) The Afro-Cuban All Stars,led by Mr. Marcos, were the invaluable big band that backed up the Buena Vista Social Club, showing their devotion to an older generation’s music.
But Mr.Marcos is not the kind of purist who turns his back on the present.
On their own, the Afro-Cuban All Stars set out to encompass a history of Cuban music, from the percussion-and-voice propulsion of rumba to the courtly classic son to driving modern timba.
At 9 p.m., S.O.B.’s , 204 Varick Street, at Houston Street, South Village , (212) 243-4940, sobs.com ; $40 (Jon Pareles)
