Led by the virtuoso Cuban violinist Rolando Morejón Reyes, The Buena Vista Orchestra features a line-up of highly accomplished musicians, including members from the original Buena Vista Social Club performances alongside musicians who have featured in the Afro-Cuban All Stars as well as the bands of Celia Cruz, Omara Portuondo, Chucho Valdés and Willie Colon.
Mixing classics from the Buena Vista Social Club catalogue with other classics and fan favourites from the Latin American songbook, The Buena Vista Orchestra will play a rare London show at indigo at The O2 on February 6th, 2027.

Last year saw The Buena Vista Orchestra thrill audiences and pack crowds with extensive touring across North America, which was documented in their ‘Live In 2025!’ album – listen HERE. For further a taste of what to expect from their life-affirming shows, check out their live session for KEXP HERE.
Rolando Morejón Reyes says “I am very excited to our coming to London and the UK where we will share our Cuban homeland rhythms and rhymes and all the Cuban music genres with the British music lovers”.
Steven Machat, the influential music industry veteran and founder of their label SSK Records adds, “This orchestra is one of the finest groups of musicians I have ever had the opportunity to work with on any level. The show encompasses all the various musical styles that began in Cuba from son to rhumba to cha-cha-chá to salsa and more. This concert will have you on your feet dancing and moving from start to finish!”
The ensemble’s highly anticipated forthcoming studio album, scheduled for release later this summer, showcases their signature blend of traditional Cuban rhythms with contemporary influences and virtuosic musicianship. Recorded between Philadelphia and Miami, and featuring the voice of Omara Portuondo on the focus track ‘Chan Chan’, this album is a sonic exploration of Cuban music that pushes the boundaries of the genre – representing a devotion to tradition and an evolution of the sound that has captivated global audiences for decades.
