A compelling homage to the Buena Vista Social Club – music from the band’s eponymous album with the infectious sounds of Cuban jazz.
‘Buena Vista Social Club’, the eponymously named album recorded in just seven days in 1996, has been a worldwide phenomenon. Awarded a Grammy in 1997, at 8 million copies, it’s outsold any other record in the same genre.
This is the Edgar Macías Quintet’s “take” on this legendary music – a rendition where every track has been arranged for the Latin Jazz Quintet format – and played with fervent passion.
Line-up: Edgar Macías – piano & vocals, Chris Bowden – alto sax, Tom Hill – bass & vocals, Miles Levin – drums and Néstor Pedrales – congas, bongo, percussion & vocals
The Bonington
