DANCE ENSEMBLE: Latin American/Hispanic dancers (3 male-presenting and 3 female-presenting, all ages) to inhabit a world mostly focused on 1950s Cuba. Backgrounds and abilities in Latin-partnering, Latin dance (mambo, salsa, bolero), contemporary dance, and ballet. Strong musicality and storytelling-through-movement abilities. Must have strong partnering skills. Black or Mixed, Afro-Cuban, Afro-Latino or Afro-Caribbean dancers encouraged to attend.
OFF-STAGE SWINGS (2 DANCERS & 3 SINGERS): The Off-Stage Swings will understudy a combination of the following roles (including Dance Ensemble) and will not be required to play any instruments.
50+. Female-presenting. Singer. Mixed, Latino or Black. A powerhouse singer and presence in any room she occupies—and she knows it. She is cuttingly funny and intelligent but carries the weight of her past, despite her commercial success in music.
50+. Male-presenting. Strong vocalist. Black. He is a man with a sweet singing voice and a deeply spiritual presence. His life has been very difficult, and his wariness shows.
50+. Male-presenting. Singer. Mixed, Latino or Black. A troubadour musician with “old-world” charm. While he can be a bit flirtatious, he’s a sensitive man who has lived several deep disappointments in his lifetime.
50+. Male-presenting. Strong vocalist. Mixed, Latino or Black. The older version of Young Rubén who comes to listen to the music being recorded in the Egrem Studios. He is still, quiet, and trapped in his own mind until he hears a recording from his youth. Will understudy the role of IBRAHIM.
20s. Female-presenting. Singer. Mixed, Latino or Black. A wealthy young woman dreaming of a world full of music and harmony. She’s free in spirit and strong in her convictions, but she gives in under pressure to obtain her goals.
20s. Female-presenting. Singer. Mixed, Latino or Black. Older sister to Young Omara and the driving engine behind the duo’s early success as performers. She’s logical, no-nonsense, and down-to-earth. Not one for sentiment, she faces reality head-on.
20s. Male-presenting. Singer/Dancer. Black. A dark-skinned young singer who has relocated from a difficult life in the country to the big city. He relies on busking to make his living and faces prejudicial hurdles on the journey to musical success.
20s. Male-presenting. Singer. Mixed, Latino or Black. A stylish, brave, and charming young guitar player and singer. Though he’s a bit of a risk-taker, he’s a dedicated person—to his friends, his music, and the Buena Vista Social Club alike.
20s. Male-presenting. Musician (Piano). Mixed, Latino or Black. An energetic, careful, eager, and hopeful pianist. He came from a humble background and dreams of playing on the best instruments with the best musicians. His mind stays focused on two things: safety and music. Piano proficiency required; knowledge of Afro-Cuban styles a plus.
20s/30s. Male-presenting. Non-singer. Mixed, Latino or Black. JUAN: A young music producer whose main focus is business success. He is intelligent, motivated, and a self-starter who isn’t afraid to take chances for his dreams. MAN IN SUIT: A former employee of Capitol Records who approaches Young Omara in the Buena Vista Social Club to attract her to his new record label. Young Omara’s hesitation is no match for his foresight and persuasion.
20s-40s. Male-presenting. Musician (Guitar/Tres). Mixed, Latino or Black. A leader of the House Band, he’s a great friend of the producer Juan De Marcos. He plays the tres with great pizzazz and has a bit of a country streak in him. Guitar proficiency required; knowledge of Afro-Cuban styles a plus.
