Two years ago a group of friends decided to get together and jam, not knowing their friendship and passion for music would turn them into the unique band they are today. Señor Q y su Nuevo Son is a local Tucson band that plays a Cuban form of salsa called “son”. Señor Q began as a quartet in 2006 and now includes six men, but they invite others to join when they can. They formed their group with the idea of keeping the roots of Cuban music alive, all while helping to promote salsa music throughout Arizona. Each member of the group plays a different instrument that contributes to their Cuban flavor of salsa music. Members of the band include brothers Manny and Danny Brito, Steve Morales, Richard Ferraz-Sullivan, Aaron Szabo and Rico Quintero.
