The Buena Vista Orchestra, under the direction of Ramos and featuring key players from throughout the history of the Buena Vista Social Club, continued the legacy of the legendary group in 2024 with an exciting new stage production and repertoire pulled from the greatest hits (many of which Ramos composed) and deep-dive cuts. The group embarked on a massive tour across the U.S. starting in September 2024, spending three months on the road and playing for thousands of fans new and old. Their adventure culminated in the release of USA TOUR 2024—12 LIVE RECORDINGS on SSK Records, the first time in decades the group’s music will be available on CD and vinyl.
Ramos is joined on the 2025 international tour to Canada, the United Kingdom, the EU, Brazil, and beyond by an all-star ensemble including original BVSC members "Betun" Luis Mariano Valiente Marin (Congas, Bongo) and Fabían Garcia (Bass).
To date, the Buena Vista Social Club and related projects have global sales that stand at over 50 million, making it the biggest-selling Cuban music project in history. As one critic put it, Buena Vista has become “world music’s equivalent of The Dark Side of the Moon.”
