About Cienfuegos
Cienfuegos is a band from Austin, TX that plays an array of Latin genres, specializing in traditional Cuban son, bolero, and cha-cha. The band was formed in 2004 by Daniel Nelson (vocals/guitar) and George Shalda (vocals/trumpet/tres Cubano) and has been performing steadily in Austin and beyond ever since.
Cienfuegos performs a diverse array of Latin genres with a focus on traditional Cuban styles such as Son, Bolero, Guajira, and Cha-Cha. Depending on the venue and event the band varies in size from a duo to 8 pieces. Performance material consists of original compositions and traditional Latin standards.
This will be the fourth time Cienfuegos has been invited to play for the Austin Jazz Society and they look forward to bringing their infectious grooves and positive energy back to Chez Zee!
