Lágrimas Negras tells the story of the Valdés family, who shaped Cuba's musical heritage over three generations. It illustrates the island's turmoil from 1920 to the present day.

The tragic story of Bebo Valdés, who was never able to return to the island after fleeing in 1961, mirrors the fate of many Cuban families. His late musical comeback with Diego Cigala and son Chucho Valdés went down in music history.

Enrique Gasa Valga takes the audience into the unmistakable world of Cuba with the world premiere of Lágrimas Negras, with all its nostalgic and enchanting facets. This special performance will be accompanied by live music from Cucurucho Valdés, the grandson of Bebo Valdés, and the exceptional Cuban musician Ray Fernandez. An evening full of romance, melancholy and enchanting music awaits you.
