For the first time ever, Visions and Voices will go to the Hollywood Bowl! A Cuban-themed evening of music will include the scorching rhythms and infectious improvisations of the world-renowned Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club featuring celebrated singer Omara Portuondo, who has captivated audiences for over 50 years. After the revelation of the Buena Vista Social Club in 1997, the world fell in love with the Afro-Cuban sound, a genre that still inspires today’s popular music. In celebration of the Caribbean nation’s rich music and culture, the concert will feature photo projections depicting historic and present-day Cuba. Experience an electrifying evening under the Hollywood stars with these legends of Afro-Cuban music and culture.
