The Buena Vista Orchestra announces a new studio album and an extensive 2026 world tour, with tickets on sale now. Recorded between Philadelphia and Miami, the forthcoming album pushes Cuban musical traditions forward while honoring their roots, with legendary vocalist Omara Portuondo appearing on focus track “Chan Chan.” Maestro Rolando Morejón Reyes leads the ensemble into his second year at the helm, cementing his reputation as one of the most exciting modern violinists and arrangers working in Latin music today.
The year opens with festival appearances on three continents before the full tour launches. The orchestra performs at the Seoul Jazz Festival in South Korea supporting Janelle Monae, the Middelheim Jazz Festival in Belgium, and the BeachLife Festival in Redondo Beach supporting James Taylor. A North American run follows in the fall, stretching from the East Coast through Canada and into the Midwest and West Coast, with dates running from late September through November.
Also arriving alongside the announcement is the first physical release of ‘En Vivo’, the live album capturing their record-breaking 2025 USA tour. Available on CD and limited edition vinyl at all upcoming shows and through the official BVO website, it delivers the full energy of a Buena Vista Orchestra performance to listeners who missed the run.
Public on-sale for all dates is Friday, March 13 at 10am local time.
