Juan Stable Perez-Band Leader, Guayo, Vocals
​
Juan Stable Perez was born in Havana, Cuba but grew up in the beautiful La Isabel Central now named Central azucarero Honduras in the city of Guantánamo.
He grew up with his aunt Ana Deysi Stable Duani, grandfather Cheve and sister Oneyda. At a young age he grew up playing changui with his grandfather in the barracks. His abuelito was such an instrumental part of his upbringing & musical influence - he wrote and dedicated a song to his abuelito Cheve & Cheve’s group called-Los Abuelos.
During his adolescence years Juan became a high performing athlete and played for the Cuban national junior basketball team where he was appointed team leader and won national & international awards. But after a severe injury he wasn’t able to return to the team and he decided to return to his path of art & music.
From there Juan decided to celebrate his cultural roots and traditions by playing Changui, Bembe and Rumba.
Juan has been part of renowned musical groups such as:
-
“7 Potencias”
-
“PB y sus Estrellas”
-
TurArte and entertainment company
As part of the “Unión Rumbera” musical group, Juan went on a tour to Venezuela and that is where his journey to the US began.
Once in the US, Juan started his own group -Sentimiento y Manana, in addition to participating in various band projects in the Bay Area such as Dos Four, Ricky Aguilar and his Afro-native group and Rupa y los Peces de Colores "La Catapulta".
