A Tribute to Buena Vista Social Club - Hot Jazz

A Tribute to Buena Vista Social Club – Hot Jazz, the International Series

Evelyn Dupuy & Daniel Lopez Montejo All Stars (Cuba)

The Cuban singer Evelyn Dupuy, one of the voices most closely identified with the soul of deep Cuba, comes to Hot Jazz with a special tribute show to Buena Vista Social Club, the project that brought the magic of Cuban son, bolero, and cha-cha back to the world. She will be joined by singer Daniel Lopez Montejo, an artist with deep Cuban roots, and together their voices will bring the harmony, warmth, and authenticity of traditional music to the stage.

They will be accompanied by a Cuban instrumental ensemble that gives the show Havana’s full sound. Alongside them will perform Fernando Knopf (electric bass), who is also the musical director and one of the leading figures in Israel’s Latin music scene.

The show will feature beloved classics from Buena Vista Social Club, including:

Dos Gardenias, Chan Chan, El Cuarto de Tula, Quizás, Quizás, Quizás

An evening full of soul, rhythm, and longing—a true Cuban celebration that brings the Buena Vista spirit back to the stage in all its power!
