Cuban All Stars present Buena Vista

Event information

When Havana’s timeless rhythms collide with London’s rich music scene, the result is pure Cuban fire. At the centre of it all is Sambroso Noda, known as the driving force behind London’s Cuban community and the powerhouse behind the popular Sambroso Sambroso events.

“This guy is so good he should be arrested!” -Hugh Masekela

Noda’s journey reads like a musician’s dream. Handpicked to tour the UK with South African jazz legend Hugh Masekela and the acclaimed Jazz Jamaica All Stars, he went on to travel the world with Ska Cubano, fusing Cuban sounds with global beats and winning over crowds from Tokyo to New York.

Back in London, Sambroso has assembled a formidable group of Cuban musicians. Together, they breathe life into the songs that put Cuban music on the global map. Expect the irresistible grooves of Buena Vista Social Club, the soaring spirit of Afro Cuban All Stars and the vibrant energy of Celia Cruz, all delivered with passion and flair.

The Buena Vista Social Club album remains one of the most celebrated world music recordings of all time. Winning a Grammy and landing a coveted spot in Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, it opened the world’s ears to the raw beauty of traditional Cuban sounds.

From rumba to salsa, timba to Cuban fusion, this is music designed to stir the soul and move the feet. Or as Sambroso himself puts it, “We’re a tribe of Cuban musicians in London representing live music. It’s about giving energy, happiness and that true Cuban feeling to everyone who comes along for the ride.”

No need to pack a suitcase. The spirit of Havana is right here.
