The band take the Buena Vista tradition as a jumping off point, delivering a blend of traditional Cuban rhythms, jazz and folk, with a unique Bristol twist, taking influences from the original social club to modern latin music. Their performances are always high-energy and engaging, having just sold out the Bristol Beacon Lantern two nights in a row. The Buena Bristol Social Club bring music to dance and listen to for what is sure to be a sweaty and energy filled gig at the Marine Theatre. Come to dance and listen, to be transported to a tropical world.
