Conjunto Guantánamo &#x1f1e8;&#x1f1fa; the ambassadors of Cuban folklore℠ &#x1f1e8;&#x1f1fa; have arrived with a freshly interpreted, classic Afro-Cuban sound. Lively percussion, pounding syncopated bass lines, exotic trumpet melodies, uninhibited improvisation and the sultry, dynamic lead vocal of <a href="spotify:artist:31MbBqNUMo1IsbXgyUHfEx" data-name="José Pepito Gómez">José Pepito Gómez</a> positively scorch in a variety of vintage and original compositions. CG&#39;s soulful sound is layered with authentic Cuban swing and sophisticated influences like &#34;El Barbaro&#34; <a href="spotify:artist:1Sp47peMTI9na8FTY4yHJw" data-name="Beny Moré">Beny Moré</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2hN2DVx3lbISa1k2EuA9ug" data-name="Arsenio Rodríguez">Arsenio Rodríguez</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:01TgcHpENlodWuRiB40oEv" data-name="Roberto Faz">Roberto Faz</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5pMBASVxuKd9gzyclkLC1s" data-name="Miguelito Cuní">Miguelito Cuní</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1Qa5p9ajnRIvq7bfsdtzqQ" data-name="Cachao">Cachao</a>.
