Festival: Tribute: 30 Years of Cuba’s Buena Vista Social Club Artscape Theatre

Tickets: R150 via Webtickets  

The Buena Vista Social Club album became a global phenomenon, reviving Cuba’s golden-age sounds and turning forgotten veteran musicians into international stars. Selling over 8 million copies and winning a Grammy, it sparked a wave of “Cuba-mania” that fueled salsa dance classes, Cuban-themed bars, and a worldwide fascination with the island’s rich cultural heritage. Now, this concert brings the spirit of that legacy to life, featuring Cuba’s Los Canelas alongside South Africa’s own Cito (Wonderboom), Hassan’adas, and other local stars, delivering a powerful celebration of Cuban culture and its enduring global impact.
