Join the Fiesta of Rhythm

The Marco Island Center for the Arts is excited to announce the return of the vibrant and rhythmic performance by L-Yen, titled "Music of Cuba," that will have you dancing around the gallery. Set to take place on Thursday, February 18, at 5:30 PM, the event promises an evening filled with the soulful beats of Cuban music at the Marco Island Center for the Arts.

L-Yen hails from Matanzas, Cuba, where his musical journey began at the age of 15. Starting with the guitar, he quickly discovered a passion for composition, enabling him to express his ideas and emotions through music. At just 16, he formed his first musical group, "Fusión Tropical," and composed several songs for the group's album.

As a solo artist, L-Yen has garnered acclaim with his singles "Te Propongo" and "Yenyere," which have received widespread attention on radio and television. These tracks mark a new era for urban music, blending Latin melody with unique sounds, rhythm, and powerful messages. With respect earned from both media and arts institutions in the Southwest Florida community, L-Yen has become a notable figure in the music scene.

The upcoming performance is part of the Arte Viva theme, aligning with the Collier County-wide festival celebrating Hispanic Arts and Culture. L-Yen will showcase his Cuban roots, presenting a concert that seamlessly blends traditional Cuban music with his signature "urban elegante" style.

Last year's attendees were treated to a mesmerizing performance, earning L-Yen a standing ovation. Don't miss out on this unique musical experience!
