that Cuba has to offer when they return to New Zealand

Cuba's The Bar at Buena Vista - The
Second Round brings together five of these greats who
continue to exude passion, romance, love and energy that
is so legendary of these Cuban masters. Celebrated 81-year-old
Maracaibo, 87-year-old Reynaldo Creagh and 80-year-old
Maestro Rubalcaba return together with original barman
from the Social Club Buena Vista, Arturo Lucas and his
sweetheart diva Siomara Valdes.

eccentric singer known as the 'Cyclone' Juana Bacallao
who recorded her first album in the 50s and taught the
late undisputed queen of salsa, Celia Cruz how to sing.
Now at the ripe old age of 89 for the first time in New
Zealand she brings with her not only the magic of her
voice but a performance never to forget.
