The Majestic Theater Welcomes Havana Cuba All-Stars

Direct from Havana, Cuba (under the Auspices of the Ministry of Culture), the 15-piece Havana Cuba All-Stars band will appear at Gettysburg College's Majestic Theater on Wednesday, October 19, 2016 at 7:30 p.m. "Cuban Nights" is the debut tour of Cuba's greatest musicians in the United States! The joy of the Caribbean will fill the historic Majestic Theater as Cuba's most prominent musicians share their rich musical heritage, from the Rumba to the Cha-Cha-Cha to the Habanera.

"Come join us for a vacation to the land of white sand beaches, swirling cigar smoke, and swinging Latin jazz," enthused Jeffrey W. Gabel, the Majestic's Founding Executive Director who booked the show over a year ago as soon as the ground-breaking tour was announced. "This dynamic band presents an authentic Cuban experience, with rhythmic drums and castanets, wailing trumpets, and masterful acoustic guitar."

Devoted to presenting the wide tapestry that exists in Cuban music - from Latin dance to soulful ballads - this concert presents the great musical traditions of the Cuban people. "The Asere Friendship Tour" is The Havana Cuba All-Stars' first-ever U.S. tour and celebrates the new open friendship between the United States and Cuba. Bringing the musical traditions of their forefathers to the States for the first time, the group's Spanish vocals, traditional songs, and sizzling rhythms will light up the stage and fill the hall with exciting sounds.
