Montuno West<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Montuno West boasts an exciting and infectious sound strongly influenced by jazz, Cuban and other Latin styles.  A true blend of tradition and modern approaches keeps the band\u2019s sound fresh, evocative, and, most importantly, uplifting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, the group won the Calgary Music Award for World Recording of the Year. It was also nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award in the World category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Montuno West is excited to be joined by special guest Israel \u201cToto\u201d Berriel (Vancouver\/Cuba). Berriel is a traditional Afro-Cuban percussionist, vocalist, and educator. He played with the world\u2019s best-known Rumba group, Los Mu\u00f1equitos de Matanzas, for twelve years, where he mastered the Afro-Cuban repertoire. Toto is an exceptional performer and a naturally gifted vocalist with a distinctive sound. Although deeply rooted in Afro-Cuban traditions, he is also comfortable with jazz, soul, and funk. Originally from Matanzas, Cuba, Toto has toured worldwide and has made Canada his home since 2001.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
