Buena Vista
by Fabio on 3/22/25Bella Concert Hall - Mount Royal University - CalgaryRating: 5 out of 5After all, we're talking about Buena Vista Social Club, so they have a name and a reputation to uphold and they did! Beautiful music, great musicians and singers. I saw this group before and some of the original members are now dead or too old to perform and I was very happy to see them again and to watch how they're integrating new members into their ensemble. (Piano guy, trumpet guy and trombone girl were great and they're the future of this group) I think the singers and the band members in general were able to engage the audience as much as they could (98% white Canadians and maybe 2% Latinos), but I think the venue wasn't the greatest for the 2% of the people who wanted to get up and dance (me included)... Prices were a little high, maybe because the venue wasn't too big.. Anyway, great concert in spite of the little things I mentioned... Big thanks to the organizers for bringing these legends to Calgary!
