Jesus "Aguaje" Ramos & The Buena Vista Orchestra
August 14, 2025
7:00pm
Golden Gate Theatre | 1 Taylor St. San Francisco, CA 94102
Following a sold-out engagement in 2024, The Buena Vista Orchestra, under the direction of Jesus “Aguaje” Ramos—original orchestra leader, composer, and trombonist of The Buena Vista Social Club—returns to SF for one performance only.
The Buena Vista Orchestra, under the direction of Ramos and featuring key players from throughout the history of The Buena Vista Social Club, continued the legacy of the legendary group in 2024 with an exciting new stage production and repertoire pulled from the greatest hits (many of which Ramos composed) and deep-dive cuts. The group embarked on a massive tour across the USA starting in September 2024, spending 3 months on the road and playing for thousands of fans new and old. Their adventure culminated in the release of USA TOUR 2024 - 12 LIVE RECORDINGS on SSK Records, the first time in decades the group’s music will be available on CD and vinyl.
Jesus “Aguaje” Ramos is a Cuban trombonist, composer, arranger and musical director. He is best known as the original orchestra leader, composer and trombonist of The Buena Vista Social Club. He has also served long stints in world class ensembles, Estrellas de Areito and Afro-Cuban Allstars. His musical journey and history is brought into focus throughout the critically acclaimed 1999 documentary “Buena Vista Social Club.”
