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

Oreste Noda grew up in Matanzas, Cuba, started out on trombone and found his real voice on the congas. Sambroso’s own biography places him among Cuban acts including Ibrahim Ferrer of Buena Vista Social Club, and that matters here: this is not a Buena Vista show built only from the outside in.

In London, Noda assembled the Cuban party collective Sambroso Sambroso and built a reputation that got him handpicked for Hugh Masekela and Jazz Jamaica All Stars' 2004 UK tour alongside Gary Crosby, Denys Baptiste and the Mercury-nominated Soweto Kinch. Eight years followed with Ska Cubano, touring from Tokyo to New York. Back in London he put together the seven-piece Cuban All Stars to do justice to the album that started it all. The Buena Vista Social Club record won the Grammy for Best Traditional Tropical Latin Album and is one of only two non-English-speaking albums ever included in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. With most of the original members now gone, this is as close as it gets.

Expect son, rumba, salsa and timba drawn from Buena Vista Social Club, Afro-Cuban All Stars and Celia Cruz, played by musicians who know this repertoire from the inside. The rhythm section alone is worth the ticket.
