Fiesta Cubana: New Year's Eve Concert 2009
New Year’s Eve 2009 was celebrated with an extraordinary concert in Havana, welcoming the New Year with Caribbean salsa rhythms and Cuban classics. This occasion coincided with the 70th anniversary of the Tropicana Club, the “cabaret of dreams”, making it a special event for all the club’s artists. Highlights of the evening include performances by Omara Portuondo (*1930), who gained international stardom as the singer of Buena Vista Social Club. She started her career at the Tropicana in 1945, making this occasion an extra-special celebration with friends and fellow artists.
