ABOUT ORIGINAL ALBUM

Buena Vista Social Club was a musical ensemble primarily made up of Cuban musicians.

They named the group after the members' club of the same name in the Buenavista quarter of Havana, a popular music venue in the 1940s that encapsulates Cuba's "musical golden age" between the 1930s and 1950s.

Buena Vista Social Club became a huge "word of mouth hit", far beyond that of most world music releases. It sold more than one million copies and won a Grammy award in 1998. it was listed by Rolling Stone magazine as #260 in The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

ABOUT MUSICIANS

 - Amber Epp brings amazing Jazz/Latin vocals and superb jazz piano skills with warm and cheery personality.

She first encountered Latin music in Canada, but it was not until her moving to Cuba that she discovered her Latin soul. Singing in the open-air patios of Old Havana fueled the fire for this contagiously rhythmic music. Her mastery of Latin Jazz conveys her infectious passion.

 - Papa Mambo Created by Chilean-born classical guitarist Rodrigo Muñoz in 1989, Winnipeg’s Papa Mambo started out as a spirited party band and soon became recognized as one of the most skillful, exciting and important innovators in Canada’s Latin music scene. The group features some of Winnipeg’s most sought-after musicians.

Led by Brazilian guitarist Emmanuel Bach, this trio brings together the sophistication of modern jazz with the rhythmic richness of Brazilian music. Emmanuel, originally from Brazil and now a key figure in the Winnipeg jazz scene, holds a master's degree from the University of Manitoba, and currently teaches jazz guitar students and ensembles there. He has released three albums as a leader and performed with legends like Airto Moreira, Flora Purim, and Ivan Lins. 

Each performance features an opening set by the trio, with two of Canada's most in-demand musicians: Fabio Ragnelli (drums) and Karl Kohut (bass), followed by a set with a different special guest each week. And if a familiar face from the local music community happens to be in the house, don't be surprised if Emmanuel waves them up for a tune!
