PRESENTING SPONSOR

shop online for CUBAVERA guayaberas, jackets, suits, pants & hats
Cubavera is a division of Perry Ellis International

In 1967, Cuban-born George Feldenkreis and his brother Isaac established Supreme International. They began by importing children’s school uniforms from Japan into Puerto Rico, then focused on guayaberas, the four pocket embroidered tropical shirt that is one of the most authentic symbols of Latin culture. George expanded the business to Miami, where he became known as the "Guayabera King."

Building on the success of Perry Ellis International, George and Oscar Feldenkreis decided to capitalize on the growth, potential, and appeal of Latin culture by expanding into a full lifestyle brand, and in 2000 launched CUBAVERA. Since its inception the Cubavera brand has transformed the ideals, joy and "sabor" of Latin culture into apparel. Taking authentic fundamentals from the traditional guayabera, the brand couples innovative fabrics and design for a new twist on a traditional staple. The line has developed from its signature shirts into a collection offering a variety of suit separates, shirts, jackets, pants and shorts.

Many heartfelt thanks from TIMBA.com & Rumbankete to CUBAVERA for their financial support and men's wear. Participation from Cubavera as the presenting sponsor allows contemporary Cuban big band music to thrive and deliver its cultural contribution to the community at large.
