Get ready for a night of irresistible rhythm when Cortadito brings the vibrant spirit of authentic Cuban Son to life in their Judson’s Live debut. This dynamic Miami-based ensemble, led by Grammy-nominated musician Jose Elias, connects the past and present to deliver the future of Cuban folk and country music.Since its origins twelve years ago, the evolution of Cortadito has led it to become one of the torchbearers of a pop culture phenomenon that is two centuries strong. A traditional folk and acoustic band that focuses on performing one of the earliest styles of Cuban country music known as Son (pronounced ”sOwn”), their sound can best be described as reminiscent of the famed Buena Vista Social Club.
The current lineup includes bass player Alberto Pantaleon, who has toured with the Afro-Cuban All Stars and is currently touring with Eliades Ochoa in the United States. The group also features trumpet player Tony Perigo, who started his professional career at the age of 17 playing with Cuban songstress Omara Portuondo. Rounding out the group on percussion is Santiago McCook, who is referred to as "El Pulpo" (the octopus), due to his one-of-a-kind multi-percussion setup that allows him to play the role of three musicians in one.
