The Buena Vista Social Orchestra, under the direction of Jesus “Aguaje” Ramos – original orchestra leader, composer, and trombonist of The Buena Vista Social Club – continues the legacy of the legendary group of keeping the arts, music, and culture of Cuba alive.

The exciting, new stage production features a repertoire pulled from their greatest hits, many of which were composed by Ramos, and deep-dive cuts, including music from the Grammy-winning, self-titled Buena Vista Social Club album, released in 1997 and enshrined into the Grammy Hall of Fame this year.

Ramos is joined by an all-star ensemble including original Buena Vista Social Club members “Betun” Luis Mariano Valiente Marin (Congas, Bongo), Emilio Senon Morales Ruiz (Piano) and Fabían Garcia (Bass).

To date, The Buena Vista Social Club and related projects have global sales that stand at over fifty million, making it the biggest-selling Cuban music project in history. As one critic put it, Buena Vista has become “world music’s equivalent of The Dark Side of the Moon.”
