Son del Nene

Son del Nene is a band of Pedro Lugo Martinez (El Nene) who boasts an unsurpassed, powerful and melancholic singing voice. On stage, he is like a younger version of the world-famous Ibrahim Ferrer (Buena Vista Social Club), and they are uncannily similar not only in looks. He learned from the “old gentlemen” how to sing authentic son cubano so convincingly that it won him a Latin Grammy, together with his group Los Jovenes del Son. In Wim Wenders’ movie Musica Cubana – The Sons of Buena Vista, El Nene played a leading role in the most moving musical scenes. El Nene and his seven-strong band, Son del Nene, have received a warm welcome in Europe time and again. For all those lovers of original traditional son cubano who want to experience a piece of authentic Cuba, this exceptional musician is an absolute must.
