When the Buena Vista Social Club™, a little known collective of veteran musicians from Cuba, recorded a self-titled album of lively folksongs, Latin jazz and passionate ballads in 1997, they immediately took the world by storm and ultimately won a Grammy® for their efforts. Further propelled by an Oscar-nominated documentary by filmmaker Wim Wenders a year later and a series of international tours, the group and their music became one of the primary catalysts in the re-emergence of the Latin sound into the musical mainstream.

More than a decade later, Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club® – featuring a line-up of 15 musicians from Cuba, each just as dedicated and passionate as their predecessors – continues the pioneering work of the original group with live performances hailed by the UK press for “taking the atmosphere up to a breathless level,” (The Independent) and leaving audiences “awestruck” (Financial Times).

Opening for the Orquesta will be one of Havana’s most highly praised pianists, Roberto Fonseca. Performing with his quintet, Fonseca comes to the states in conjunction with the US release of his latest album Yo (Concord Music Group). His seventh album to date, Yo is an intelligent journey fusing diverse influences from jazz, traditional West African and Cuban music and electronics.
