ORQUESTA BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB "ADIOS TOUR" 
Featuring Omara Portuondo, Eliades Ochoa, Guajiro Mirabal, Barbarito Torres, Jesus "Aguaje" Ramos
After 16 years thrilling audiences around the world, the Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club is set to bid 'Adios' with a farewell world tour. The group - which has been touring the globe since 1997 - will take to the road one final time with a series of concerts that will celebrate the Orquesta's storied journey as ambassadors for Cuban music.

Under the musical direction of band leader and trombonist Jesus “Aguaje” Ramos, the line-up for The “Adios Tour” will feature several of those who played on the original Buena Vista Social Club album and film all those years ago, including Cowboy hatted singer/guitarist Eliades Ochoa, the incomparable veteran diva Omara Portuondo, trumpeter Guajiro Mirabal and laud virtuoso Barbarito Torres. They will be accompanied on stage by those who have joined the journey along the way, including dynamic veteran tres player Papi Oviedo; Havana’s young star pianist Rolando Luna; a superb rhythm section comprising double bass player Pedro Pablo and percussionists Andres Coayo (congas), Filiberto Sánchez (timbales) and Alberto ‘La Noche’ (bongos); a three-man trumpet section led by high note specialist Luis Allemany plus Havana’s celebrated son singer Carlos Calunga and Idania Valdéz.

From son and guajira to danzon and bolero, cha-cha-cha and rumba, Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club® … “ADIOS TOUR” will showcase the classic styles and rhythms of Cuban music in a new stage presentation that will feature fresh songs and familiar numbers in new versions. The shows will reflect the Buena Vista experience past and present with tributes to many of the late, great musicians who contributed so richly to the story.

The ”ADIOS TOUR” tour coincides with the release of Buena Vista Social Club ‘Lost and Found‘ on March, 23rd. A collection of previously unreleased tracks, some recorded at the first legendary sessions in Havana and others during the extraordinarily rich outpouring of music that followed.
