A live gig by Buena Vista Social Club featuring legend Ibrahim Ferrer fired up the audience in Sofia on Tuesday evening.
This was the first time the Cubans played in Bulgaria, and local fans rose to their feet to acclaim 77-year-old Ferrer and the rest of the musicians.
For almost three hours, the Cuban stars entertained their Bulgarian aficionados, and up-tempo beats drove fans to dancing frenzy, and the show to its culmination.
The members-only Buena Vista Social Club was at its height during the 1940s. The member musicians recorded none of their songs in a studio, nevertheless, they started a craze in the West for Latin American music.
