The Tico Gonzalez Quartet returns to the Walters stage this Spring with a refreshing cocktail of original, traditional, and contemporary Cuban music.

Bringing tropical rhythms reminiscent of a Mango Mojito, this quartet of local musicians led by Tico Gonzalez will have you dancing in your seat. Labeled by Tico as “Cuban Music for Nice People!” the night will include original songs, poetry, and a special guest, Xavier Tavera.

More about Tico Gonzalez

Roberto "Tico" González is a Cuban American composer, singer, and audiovisual creator who fuses two great passions in his artistic work, music, and cinematographic images. Merging genres and rhythms of Cuban music, while incorporating contemporary sounds and elements of pop music, his upbeat sound creates an atmosphere of irresistible delight and inspires a get-up and move dance party.

Telling stories that reflect the life experiences of human beings, either through audiovisual art or musical composition, forms the essence of Tico's creative expression. A native of Havana, Cuba, he has an intense passion for the arts and his culture. In 1997, he graduated from the Institute of Higher Education of Havana with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Audiovisual Communications Media. He also studied music at the Ignacio Cervantes and Félix Varela conservatories in Cuba.
