THE SONS OF BUENA VISTA®
THE SONS OF BUENA VISTA®
THE SONS OF BUENA VISTA® are the legacy of the Buena Vista Social Club®, passed on to a younger generation of world-class musicians. These heirs have grown up right next to the old Cuban grandmasters and carry the unmistakable charm of the deceased legends, such as Ibrahim Ferrer, Compay Segundo or Ruben Gonzales, and the Cuban classics into the wide world. The show is a fusion of today's Cuban stars and the legacy of the world-famous Cuban musical tradition!
The Buena Vista Social Club® has put Cuba back on the musical map of the world. The follow-up film ‘Musica Cubana - The Sons of Buena Vista®’ presented by Wim Wenders' launched this new project. Many years after the release of this film, there is now a stage version in the flesh, which will tour Europe for the first time in 2025.
Singer and Grammy winner Mario ‘Mayito’ Rivera, aptly described as the ‘Mick Jagger of Cuba’, is a world-famous representative of the unique sound of Cuban music. The multi-talented and always smartly dressed Rivera, idol of the youth and much respected as the poet of rumba, was a member of the supergroup ‘Los Van Van’ for many years and had already worked with important players on the Cuban music scene such as Isaac Delgado and Alberto Alvarez before joining THE SONS OF BUENA VISTA®. He played impressive musical interludes in the cinema film ‘Musica Cubana - The Sons of Buena Vista’.
Singer William Borrego Rodriguez. founded ‘El Cabildo del Son’ together with Pancho Amat and toured the world as lead singer with Cuban legends such as Silvio Rodriguez and Pablo Milanès. Today he is a star of the younger generation of Cuban musicians.
Third in the group: El Nene, whose real name is Pedro Lugo Martinez, shines with his incredibly powerful and melancholic vocals. On stage, he looks like a younger version of the world-famous Ibrahim Ferrer (Buena Vista Social Club), whom he not only resembles visually, but with whom he also toured the world! He learnt how to sing Son Cubano authentically from the ‘old men’, so convincingly that he even won a Latin Grammy with his group ‘Los Jovenes del Son’. He also played a leading role in Wim Wenders' cinema film ‘Musica Cubana - THE SONS OF BUENA VISTA® ’ and played impressive musical passages.
