Buena Vista Social Club captures the essence of Cuban music through characters representing a bygone era. Originally formed post-Cuban Revolution in 1996, the ensemble sought to revive the legacy of vanished musicians. Transitioning between the 1940s and modern times, the musical employs talented actors who embody both young and older versions of iconic figures, with Marco Ramirez guiding the audience through the narrative. The music forms the core of this production, highlighting Cuba's rich musical heritage and its ongoing vitality, even years after the revolution.
The Buena Vista Social Club is a living, breathing and deeply grooving homage to the era, the music and the island.
After the Cuban Revolution, many of the country's beloved musicians were lost to time, but in 1996, an ensemble was formed to reclaim their spotlight.
