Direct from Cuba for one night only, Omara Portuondo, last year’s shining star of Vida is back, accompanied by 5 members of the Buena Vista Social Club.

The Buena Vista Social Club, an assemblage of many of Cuba's most renowned musical forces, has presented live performances around the world since 1996 when Ry Cooder’s documentary and resulting Grammy-winning album gained critical and popular success.

Omara Portuondo, one of the featured vocalists on the album and documentary, brings to the stage smoky and quietly tragic vocals, charismatic stage presence, and a taste of Havana nightlife. She is joined by Roberto Fonseca, one of Cuba’s most promising young pianists.
