Jesús Aguaje Ramos & His B.V. Orchestra

Friday 9 May

Jesús ‘Aguaje’ Ramos (born 1951) is a Cuban trombonist, composer, arranger and musical director best known for performing on record and live with members of Buena Vista Social Club. He has also served long stints in world-class ensembles Estrellas de Areito and Afro-Cuban Allstars.

 

Ramos was Rubén Gonzalez’ musical director and has been touring extensively since 1997 with various projects. He was a prominent member and musical director of the renowned Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club, which paid tribute to the music of the original Buena Vista Social Club releases with their ‘Adios’ tour.

The B.V Orchestra under the direction of Ramos celebrates the legacy of the legendary group with a new stage production and repertoire pulled from the greatest hits and deep-dive cuts.

Ramos is joined on this inaugural tour by an all-star ensemble of established Cuban musicians including ‘Betun’ Luis Mariano Valiente Marin (congas, bongo), Emilio Senon Morales Ruiz (piano) and Fabían Garcia (bass).
