New York.-The Buena Vista Social Club, one of the most prestigious Cuban groups worldwide, will perform today at The Beacon Theatre in New York, as part of its Adios Tour through the United States. We are here, New York. Two nights with all sold out. Candela, Chan Chan, Dos Gardenias and much more we will be singing tonight, commented the band on social networks.
Last month, the orchestra and its lead singer Omara Portuondo, added another great event to their privileged acting career at the White House, the first Cuban band to appear there in the last half century.
In addition, the band gave concerts at the Hollywood Bowl, the Humphreys Concerts by the Bay, the Denver Botanic Gardens and Rialto Center for the Arts, among others.
Mostly comprised by veteran musicians from the Caribbean island, defenders of son, bolero, danzon and salsa; the project brings together since 1996 prestigious exponents of Cuban traditional music, especially that of the 1930s to 1950.
Under the leadership of guitarist and producer Ry Cooder, they recorded an album that won a Grammy and an Oscar-nominated documentary in 2000.
