Cuba is an island in the Caribbean Sea that has created the world's most popular music - the Son, the Bolero, the Rumba, the Mambo, the Cha Cha Cha, and the incredible sound of Salsa.

The Stars of Buena Vista pay homage to this infectious music and to the Buena Vista neighbourhood - the famous quarter of Havana and Cuba's music legends, such as the late Company Segundo and Ruben Gonzalez. It is a dedication to the original spirit and the music of Cuba, the lifeblood of a people whose heritage is as rich as it is old.

The show features the musical talents of some of Cuba's finest musicians, led by trumpeter Armando Garcia Perez.

On stage, the band is characterised by a high energy, distinctively Cuban sound that blends traditional Cuban music with gifted improvisation. They spontaneously adapt the music to the audience which makes it impossible not to become involved. The addition of sophisticated vocal harmonies and dynamics creates a truly distinctive, fresh and exuberant sound.

The band's repertoire includes all the popular Latin rhythms of Cuba , ranging from traditional to modern styles, like Son, Rumba, Conga, ChaChaCha, Bolero, Mambo and Salsa.

High-energy dancers include all the popular Latin rhythms and features Alejandro Espinosa.
