The vibrant soul of Havana is set to light up Dubai as Estrellas de Buena Vista y Más, featuring original members of the legendary Buena Vista Social Club, perform live at the Dubai World Trade Centre on 22 October 2025.
Audiences can look forward to an evening steeped in the golden era of Cuban music, with 14 world-class musicians led by maestro Pancho Amat, widely regarded as one of the world’s finest tres players. Blending traditional son Cubano with a contemporary flair, the ensemble unites original Buena Vista Social Club members – including Carlos Calunga, Lázaro Villa, Ángel Terry, and Alberto “Molote” Muñoz – alongside a new generation of exceptional Cuban talent. Together, they honour the legacy of the iconic group while carrying its timeless magic into the present.
The concert will feature Cuban favourites such as Chan Chan and La Negra Tomasa, alongside an array of son Cubano, bolero, danzón and Afro-Cuban jazz. Each performance promises soulful storytelling and musical mastery that transport the audience straight to the streets of Havana.
“Every time we step on stage, we carry the heart of Cuba with us – its music, its stories, and its soul. Dubai will feel the same warmth, rhythm, and joy that has kept our traditions alive for generations. We can’t wait to share this magic with the city.” says Pancho Amat, Musical Director, Estrellas de Buena Vista y Más.
The concert is presented by DXB Live, the experiential division of Dubai World Trade Centre, in collaboration with Habana Events Management, a Dubai-based events company renowned for curating Latin music and cultural showcases.

We are proud to bring Estrellas de Buena Vista y Más to this vibrant stage, where world-class music meets a world-class city”, says Nitish Bansal, Head of Live Entertainment at DXB Live.
