'Pensioned but not retired, Los Jubilados is a great Santiago de Cuba son band that has an incredible impact on publics of all ages and cultures, wherever they play, from the most formal sit-down theatres to outdoor festivals. These old guys, with an energy that belies their age, are masters of the music that is so popular today and they present their repertoire of Cuban son and bolero safe in the knowledge that no-one plays this music like they do.

Previous tours include Mexico, (1999 and 2000), France and Spain (2000), Germany (2000). They returned to Mexico in October 2001 and their shows were so succesful that they were invited to return again the following month as the closing act for two important arts festivals.
