One of the ultimate New York City party bands, Marc Ribot Y Los Cubanos Postizos (aka “The Prosthetic Cubans”) became a must-see attraction in the late 1990s, its feverishly cooking shows built around arrangements of Cuban bandleader Arsenio Rodriguez – innovator of the son montuno. Recently revived and now going by the simplified name of Marc Ribot Y Los Postizos opens the format to incorporate musical influences from across the Americas but with the same Latin based fervor.
