La Familia Son’s repertoire consists of traditional son and old-school salsa, with an inflection of East Bay funk and Cuban timba.  Afro-Caribbean folkloric music: rumba, bomba, and son form a central role in the group’s compositions and arrangements.  La Familia’s original music also reflects thoughts about the world around us: the importance of music, community, and family mixed with a sharp look at the need for peace and justice.  Of course all of the music is great for dancing!
