ABOUT:
José González, a virtuoso guitarist, composer, and master of the Puerto Rican cuatro, leads Banda Criolla, a vibrant, dance‑driven ensemble that fuses the island’s traditional rhythms—bomba, plena, jíbaro—with Latin jazz, salsa, merengue, flamenco, and global musical influences.
A celebrated figure in Puerto Rico and beyond, José has released over 20 CDs, four of which have featured on Putumayo World Music compilations and one on the Bose “World Music” series. His music has been showcased on major platforms like NBC, PBS, and CNN, and he’s received prestigious honors such as Puerto Rico’s Top 150 personalities award by BBVA and the Hispanic Excellence in Music accolade.
