Biography

Buena Vista Social Club® released its only studio album, produced by Ry Cooder, in 1997 and achieved instant success. The album, featuring a specially assembled group of veteran Cuban musicians, was further propelled by Wim Wender’s acclaimed film and later by a series of internatinal tours and albums by many of the featured musicians. Buena Vista Social Club® became a phenomenon.
The Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club’s live performances have been praised by the UK press for “Taking the atmosphere up to a breathless level” (The Independent), leaving audiences “awestruck” (Financial Times). At the forefront of the group are four musicians who will be recognized from the Buena Vista Social Club® film: trumpeter Guajiro Mirabal, Laúd virtuoso Barbarito Torres and trombonist Jesús “Aguaje” Ramos. A younger generation of Cuban musicians is represented by such a talents as the renowned vocalist Carlos Calunga and virtuoso pianist Rolando Luna.
Joining this new and expanded lineup of Cuban players is vocalist Omara Portuondo, a member of the original Buena Vista Social Club®, whose 2008 recording Gracias (World Village/Montuno) won a Latin GRAMMY® and scored a GRAMMY® nomination.
