Following their sold-out performance at the Hall in 2011, Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club™ return, featuring the divine vocal talents of the first lady of Cuban music Omara Portuondo.
Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club™ has played together for over half a century. Their most influential style is the exuberant, polyrhythmic music known as 'son', which gave birth to both Mambo and Salsa. Their upbeat numbers are full of infectious guitar licks, multi-layered Afro Cuban rhythms, soaring vocal melodies, and brash, big band horn parts. These are complimented by deliciously slow bolero ballads and majestic danzones feature the swell of strings, with vocals conveying messages of romance hidden behind arrestingly beautiful melodies.
Support at this concert will come from Family Atlantica.
Please note: Due to ill health Eliades Ochoa is not able to appear with Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club on their current tour.
