After 16 years thrilling audiences around the world, the Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club is bidding "Adios" with a farewell world tour show at The O2 London. The group – which has been touring the globe in different forms, guises and combinations since 1997 – has taken to the road one final time with a series of concerts celebrating the Orquesta's journey as ambassadors for Cuban music. After performing around the world, the tour will end where the journey began with a homecoming gala performance in Havana in April. The Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club grew out of the 1997 release of the Grammy-winning best-selling album Buena Vista Social Club, and its line-up continues to include a number of the original artists featured on the landmark recording and film. But that was only the starting point of an extraordinary journey. Over the years, there have been further acclaimed albums, Grammy awards and a packed schedule of sold-out tours and concerts. During that time the group has evolved into a customised, dynamic, multi-generational big band in which veterans and younger performers have combined to celebrate Cuban musical tradition with flair and élan. The Adios Tour coincides with the release of Buena Vista Social Club's album Lost and Found. A collection of previously unreleased tracks, some recorded at the first legendary sessions in Havana and others during the extraordinarily rich outpouring of music that followed. The O2 is the world’s most popular music and entertainment venue. Since opening in 2007, The O2 has been visited by more than 50 million people. In addition to the arena, The O2 is also home to indigo at The O2, which is a live performance space, an 11-screen Cineworld complex, Up at The O2 – an experience that allows visitors to walk across the roof of The O2, Brooklyn Bowl – a 12-lane bowling alley, 800 capacity live music space and 130 cover restaurant, and The Avenue, which features 26 bars and restaurants.
