A celebration of Cuba’s golden age, One Night in Havana celebrates the incredible music of pre-revolution Cuba. Created by Yunior Lopez, the performance project features Cuban singer Noybel Gorgoy backed by a full symphony orchestra. Reminiscent of Buena Vista Social Club’s revival of pre-revolutionary Cuban music, One Night in Havana features Buena Vista classics like Chan Chan, Quizas, Quizas, Quizas, and El Cuarto de Tula, alongside other Cuban favorites popularized by artists like Celia Cruz, Beny More, and Los Zafiros. Orchestral arrangements and transcriptions were done by famed Cuban pianist and band leader Hilario Duran, jazz bassist Roberto Occhipinti, Mexican composer Arturo Hernandez, and Yunior Lopez. The project blends a variety of Cuban, Spanish, and American genres & styles including bolero, Cuban son, doo-wop, jazz, and tango.
