Why see Buena Vista Social Orchestra?
Cuban Superstars
Jesus "Aguaje" Ramos, original trombonist of the legendary Cuban outfit Buena Vista Social Club, leads an ensemble including three fellow original Club members for a tour of North America this fall! Along with pianist Emilio Senon Morales Ruiz, percussionist "Betun" Luis Mariano Valiente Marin and bassist Fabian Garcia, the famed latin-jazz combination from Havana bring you the music that made the world famous BVSC the biggest selling Cuban band in history.
Although slow to catch on in prominence in their native Cuba during the early Nineties, the country's burgeoning tourist industry brought the Club's recordings and romance back to the people. Just as Liverpool, UK is forever synonymous with The Beatles, so the crumbling romance of Old Havana is now forever associated with this unofficial brand, put Cuba on global music lovers' map as having the best Latin music around.
