“The CUBintage” performs as an ambassador project of the golden age of Cuban music from the 1950s and 60s, paying a cultural and musical tribute that blends tradition, sophistication, rhythm, and glamour. Inspired by great masters such as Bebo Valdés, Israel “Cachao” López, and Pedro Justiz “Peruchín”, the quintet reconstructs with contemporary sensitivity a distinctive style that shaped the history of Latin music.

The evening will feature the exceptional participation of singer Idania Valdés and timbalero Amadito Valdés, internationally renowned artists linked to the historic Buena Vista Social Club, witnesses and carriers of a living musical heritage. Their presence reinforces the unique character of a project that not only performs, but embodies a living memory of Cuba’s musical tradition.

“The CUBintage” is more than a concert: it is a celebration of Cuban musical heritage and its living presence today.
