Dive into the Cuban Nostalgic sounds
"The play was outstanding. They did a great job in blending original music arrangements with great acting. Telling the story of the pulse on how the original Cuban sound was created. Through the stories of the original band members. I had an opportunity to meet Eliades Ochoa in Miami last year and he would've been proud on how he was portrayed in the play. A must see in Broadway !"

Time to Reminisce
"From the acting, singing, and music the show is amazing. To hear the music that I grew up with sang with such feeling was very emotional. Renesito Avich playing the Tres was outstanding. I would highly recommend this play if you enjoy great music."

Closest thing to traveling back in time (to the 90s)
"I loved this music when it first came out to most of us in the 1990s. Now, hearing it performed live the way it should be heard. Amazing. The choreography and the narrative of the musical was very engaging. But the best thing was the musicians. I don’t dance. No rhythm at all. This had me dancing and I hate audiences that dance in their seats!"

Energy - Talent! - ah, the humanity
"Voices were excellent for all the leads. The musicians were all outstanding- especially the guitarist (w/ a strange 6-string). AND THE DANCERS were fantastic‼️ The choreography was incredible and evocative of old Havana, somehow. Loved the show! "
