Buena Vista Orchestra

The Buena Vista Orchestra is the world’s foremost Cuban music repertory ensemble, featuring a revolving lineup of musicians associated with The Buena Vista Social Club, AfroCuban All Stars, Celia Cruz, Omara Portuondo, Chucho Valdés, and Willie Colón. Carrying forward the spirit of the legendary Buena Vista movement—one of the most celebrated and influential Cuban music projects of all time—the band keeps this timeless sound alive, captivating audiences around the globe. It also gives a new generation of fans the chance to experience this rich musical heritage today.

“These men and women make music that might otherwise drift to the wayside, lifting up a people, a genre and its multitude of virtues so that a roomful of people can sway and sing and clap their hands in blissful appreciation.”—Dallas Observer
