ARMANDITO & TROVASON

After settling in Australia in 2003, Armandito established himself as a band leader, Cuban composer, arranger, and show producer with over 30 years of experience in the music industry. His career includes extensive international touring as part of renowned Cuban productions. Drawing on this rich background, he leads Armandito & TROVASON, a collective of some of Sydney’s most accomplished Cuban and Latin musicians. On stage, the band is defined by its high energy and unmistakably Cuban sound, blending traditional Cuban music with masterful improvisation. Sophisticated vocal harmonies, dynamic arrangements, and expressive musicianship come together to create a sound that is distinctive, vibrant, and contemporary. The band’s authentic repertoire features the most celebrated rhythms of Cuba, ranging from Buena Vista Social Club–style classics to Son, Salsa, Bolero, and Cha-Cha-Cha. With an innate ability to read and adapt to their audience, the band creates an engaging, interactive performance that captivates, entertains, and energises every event.
