The Buena Vista Social Club album introduced the world to Havana's golden-age son and bolero, and The Buena Vista Orchestra keeps that songbook on the road with an ensemble that spans Cuban music, Latin jazz and salsa. It is touring behind a new studio album, and The Town Hall's 1921 acoustics are made for acoustic Cuban brass and strings. If "Chan Chan" is on your all-time list, this is a warm, danceable night.
What to expect
Expect a seated concert with a large band of horns, strings, piano and percussion, and vocalists trading leads on classic Cuban standards. Expect plenty of call-and-response with the audience.
