Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club®
“Adiós Tour” featuring Omara Portuondo, Guajiro Mirabal, Barbarito Torres y Jesús “Aguaje” Ramos regresa a la Ciudad de México
Preventa Banamex 15 y 16 de Julio
Para todos los amantes a los excelsos ritmos cubanos, una de las orquestas más respetadas y queridas por muchos, Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club®, regresará a nuestro país, de la mano de su “Adiós Tour”, para poner el sabor, baile y candela, en las instalaciones del Auditorio Nacional, lugar que los vio en vivo y a todo color en el mes de febrero, y que ahora, se engalanará de nueva cuenta, con la presencia de estos talentosos músicos, patrimonios de la historia universal de la música. La fecha para esta gran bohemia sonora será el próximo domingo 15 de noviembre. La preventa Banamex se realizará los días 15 y 16 de julio.
Para esta gran gala, la Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club® estará bajo la dirección musical de Jesús “Aguaje” Ramos, líder de la banda y trombonista. Además de que contará con las leyendas vivientes como la diva del son, Omara Portuondo (voz), el maestro Guajiro Mirabal (trompeta) y el virtuoso Barbarito Torres (laúd).
Ellos estarán acompañados en el escenario de algunos de los músicos que a lo largo de los años se han unido al proyecto como el veterano maestro del tres Papi Oviedo, el excelso pianista Rolando Luna, así como una excelente sección rítmica compuesta por Pedro Pablo (contrabajo), Andrés Coayo (congas), Filiberto Sánchez (timbales) y Alberto “La Noche” (bongos) y también estarán arropados con un experimentado conjunto de trompetas de tres hombres liderados por la alta nota especialista de Luis Allemany y el célebre sonero Carlos Calunga e Idania Valdéz.
El “Adiós Tour” es una síntesis de más de mil conciertos que han involucrado a más de 40 músicos en los últimos 16 años. Durante este tiempo, el grupo se ha convertido en una dinámica y multi-generacional big band, donde los veteranos y los más jóvenes se han unido para celebrar con gran elegancia la tradición cubana.
“Queremos que nuestra música perdure en el tiempo y que sigamos encantando al mundo; esto es lo que hemos conseguido con nuestros conciertos. Ha sido una parte increíble de mi vida y de mi carrera”, comentó Omara Portuondo.
Los shows de la Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club® siempre se han caracterizado por contar con un gran abanico de géneros y ritmos como el son, guajiras, danzones, boleros, cha-cha-cha y rumbas. Además de tocar gran parte de sus clásicos, también el público tendrá la oportunidad de escuchar algunos temas inéditos así como versiones de populares canciones cubanas. Sin duda, el show será un fiel reflejo del pasado y presente de este legendario combo.
Cabe mencionar que esta agrupación surgió tras el aclamado proyecto de 1997, Buena Vista Social Club, ganador de un Grammy, y que hoy en día, su formación sigue contando con varios de los músicos originales que figuraron en la histórica grabación y película, que fue dirigida por Win Wenders.
Esto sólo fue el punto de partida para un extraordinario y maravilloso viaje, que a lo largo de los años, se han editado exitosos álbumes, obteniendo varios premios Grammy, y realizado infinidad de conciertos, en donde muchos casos se contó con la participación de Ibrahim Ferrer, Rubén González, Cachaíto López, Manuel Galbán, Roberto Fonseca, entre otros.

Excellent Musicians, great cuban music. They put us all to sing and dance. A musical show like no other!!!
The Buena Vista Orchestra Show was amazing and definitely exceeded my expectations. The performers involved the crowd from the offset and were very talented singers and musicians. The individual performers showcased their talents, and it was hard to determine which set of instruments stole the show. Between Percussion, Piano, Horns, keyboards, ... and the violin! the musicianship was just amazing! The singers were powerful and really connected with the audience. Overall, this was one of my favorite concerts / shows this year! I highly recommend this show! Thank You! Buena Vista Orchestra, I look forward to seeing you again!
The Buena Vista Orchestra was such an enjoyable music experience! First time at The Magnolia. We enjoyed the venue. Tasty food available before the concert at the Patio area too. Would highly recommend seeing the Buena Vista Orchestra and attending the Magnolia for all your music events.
The Buena Vista Orchestra was amazing! All of the musicians were fabulous as was the singer. I would recommend to The Magnolia, however, that they work on their sound system. The bass was so heavy on the microphones that the voices were difficult to understand (yes, I speak Spanish). Otherwise...OMG...what a tremendously beautiful summer night of rhythm and fun!
One of the best live shows I’ve ever seen. Loved that the BV orchestra came to the Magnolia! What an honor!
Beautiful Show. Showcasing exquisite talent. Great cuban vibes and little sides like Earth Wind and Fire and Over The Rainbow. could have listened and danced for several more hours.
Fun night of island music to move your body and take you away for the night!
Beautiful musical experience! Wow! We loved every minute of it.
Buena Vista Orchestra delivered a fun, joyful night that brought the vibrant sounds of Cuba straight to Seattle. The energy was infectious, the rhythms irresistible, and the musicians absolutely superb. A truly great show!
The legacy of this incredible band was exhibited this night. Having followed this band for sometime. I was thrilled to see that they were coming to town. The small venue was perfect. The song selection was exactly what we had envisioned. It was clear they were enjoying what they were doing. They engaged the crowd well
The Buena Vista Orchestra was fantastic. I was expecting more of an acoustic concert because of the Buena Vista Social Club album from back in the day, but the more electric and loud music was exciting to hear. The music was great. The venue was beautiful and the crowd enthusiastic. Since it wasn't a sell-out, when my wife and I got there, the usher brought us much closer to the stage, so that was really nice to be closer to the action. Overall, a wonderful show.
Would go see them again. Fun, upbeat music from start to finish. A very tight band!!
Desde el sonido inicial hasta la última nota del bis, ¡fue simplemente increíble! Fue muy divertido participar en un increíble concierto en vivo en Hoyt Sherman, Des Moines. From the opening sound to the final note of the encore, it was simply incredible! It was so much fun to be part of an incredible live concert at Hoyt Sherman in Des Moines.
Music was great. Disappointed in turn out. Too loud for this this size venue Turn down the mics!
Great music at a gorgeous old theater. I wish there had been a program naming the musicians. All the musicians were great, I wish I knew there game. There website photos don't match the folk we saw 8/2/25.
The individual as well as the collective talent of this orchestra was so exciting to experience. Each member put their heart into their performance and showed their admiration for one another’s musical gifts. The energy they emanated was infectious and had us on our feet , not wanting it to end!
Always dreamed of seeing BVSC live. They were warm, joyful, engaging and I loved the show.
The show was fantastic. The BVSC was even better than when I saw them in Cuba. I was not familiar with the first act, but I would really love to see more of him. I was very disappointed in that I paid extra for the Meet&Greet but missed it all because it happened around 4:30 PM and I wasn't informed. For the extra I paid i got a tote and poster worth about $1.75. I didn't complain because the show was so great but that was really wrong.
It was a wonderful concert that ended up being a party with folk salsa dancing in the aisles during the encore. Folk who left early really missed a treat! Also, the Fillmore Detroit staff were amazing in assisting with my husband who was in a walker and had very limited mobility. It is because of them that we are able to periodically treat ourselves to some stellar entertainment. Its assistance started even when I was purchasing the tickets. The box office person helped me select seats that made the concert accessible to my husband and perfect in viewing the concert. Kudos to the performers and the Fillmore staff!
