An electrifying evening of Cuban sights and

Orchestra take a musical tour of old Havana, mambo style! From a
romantic promenade down the Malecón to the pulsing rhythms at
the legendary Hotel Nacional, you’ll hear such classics as
Gershwin’s Cuban Overture, Lecuona’s Malaguena,
and then...mambo with Cachao’s all-star musicians, who carry on
the legacy of the Grammy-winning bassist and composer, the
legendary “father of the mambo.” The evening hits fever pitch
when the musicians are joined by spectacular dancers for a
tropical evening you won’t soon forget!
