Adios Tour

After 16 years thrilling audiences around the world, the Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club® is bidding 'Adios' with a farewell world tour show at The O2 London on 6th April 2016

The group - which has been touring the globe in different forms, guises and combinations since 1997 - has taken to the road one final time with a series of concerts celebrating the Orquesta's journey as ambassadors for Cuban music. After performing around the world, the tour will end where the journey began with a homecoming gala performance in Havana in April following the show at The O2.

The show at The O2 will be the group’s biggest show in London since it played to 17,000 people in Hyde Park in 2000 with Ibrahim Ferrer (1927-2005). In October this year the Orquesta played a special performance at the Whitehouse for Barack Obama becoming the first Cuban group to play there since the 1960s.

'We wanted our traditional music to live on and to enchant the world and this is what our tours achieved. It has been an incredible part of my career and life.' Omara Portuondo
