Juan Carlos Alfonso y su Dan Den, a Cuban salsa group, was founded in December 1988 by pianist Juan Carlos Alfonso during the annual Charanga Festival in Bejucal. The band's name, Dan Den, came from the sound of campanas (bells) and their music blended various genres including son, salsa and bolero. Their debut album, Siempre hay un ojo que te ve, was released in 1990. In 1992, they recorded Amame con tu experiencia during live performances and studio sessions in Mexico, which became a hit across Latin America. Notable songs include "Ojos Que Te Ven", "Ritmo Dan Den", and "Viejo Lazaro". The band celebrated its 15th anniversary in 2003 with tours across Mexico, the USA, and Europe. In 2009, the band released their album Fiestas de Cuba.
