Lord Noel "Lo Que Es Una Gran Noche!"

Whatto! Peeps....

I was fortunate enough to get to see the Legendary 'Beuna Vista Social Club' in concert on Saturday night....and the warm Cuban sounds took me straight back to our wonderful holiday in Cuba....

The Buena Vista Social Club was a members club in Havana, Cuba that held dances and musical activities, becoming a popular location for musicians to meet and play during the 1940s. In the 1990s, nearly 50 years after the club was closed, it inspired a recording made by Cuban musician Juan de Marcos González and American guitarist Ry Cooder with traditional Cuban musicians, some of whom were veterans who had performed at the club during the height of its popularity.

The recording, named Buena Vista Social Club after the Havana institution, became an international success.
....and judging by the crowd, who were all on their feet clapping and dancing away happily....
...it's destined to carry on that way.

Tallyho!
Best Wishes - Lord Noel
