Septeto de Montréal brings a night of Cuban dance music to Balattou in Montreal on 14 November 2026. The band is led by musical director Julio Rodriguez, and the evening is built around the lively rhythms that have long filled Cuban dance floors.
What to expect
The programme moves across several styles, so the set is varied from one number to the next. Listeners can look forward to:
- Son, the foundation of much Cuban popular music
- Mambo, with its driving horn lines
- Rumba, rooted in Afro-Cuban percussion
- Cha-cha-cha, light and rhythmic
The band's sound is defined by sharp brass and intense percussion, which together give the concert its energy. It suits anyone who enjoys live music that invites movement, whether or not they already know the dances.
The venue and the visit
The concert takes place at Balattou, a music venue in Montreal. Visitors can check the event page for details and booking through the venue's website at balattou.com. Montreal's cultural life gives the evening a natural setting, and a concert like this makes a good reason to plan an evening out in the city.
