The Buena Vista Orchestra live in Miami Beach

Experience The Buena Vista Orchestra live on November 21st

The Buena Vista Orchestra will be performing at the Miami Beach Bandshell on November 21, 2026. The ensemble specializes in reviving the vibrant sounds of Cuban *música popular* from the pre-revolutionary era – roughly the 1920s through the 1950s. Their repertoire focuses on son cubano, mambo, cha-cha-chá, and danzón, played with a commitment to historical accuracy and featuring arrangements based on original recordings. The orchestra aims to recreate the atmosphere of Havana’s golden age of dance music.

The Miami Beach Bandshell is an open-air performance venue located in South Pointe Park. Originally constructed in 1962 as a Wometco Ice Arena, it was designed by architect Norman Geller as part of a larger revitalization project for Miami Beach. The structure underwent significant renovations in 2018, restoring its mid-century modern aesthetic and improving its functionality as a concert space. It is known for its distinctive shell-shaped roof and intimate setting, providing a unique acoustic experience. Throughout its history, the Bandshell has hosted a diverse range of performers and events, contributing to Miami Beach’s cultural landscape.
