Two-time Grammy award winner, "the guitar and the voice" of legendary formation Buena Vista Social Club, Eliades Ochoa, will arrive in Sofia to present the new album Buena Vista Social Club at Carnegie Hall.

The concert, scheduled for December 10, 8pm at Hall 1 of the National Palace of Culture (NDK) in Sofia, will see eight people (two trumpets, two guitars, piano, two on percussions and  a contrabass) fill the hall with the warmest sounds and rhythms of Cuba. This will be the third concert of a Buena Vista Social Club artist in Bulgaria, following those of Ibrahim Ferrer and Omara Portuondo.

As a warm-up to the concert, on November 24 and December 2 and 3, Sofia's Dom na Kinoto cinema will screen the Buena Vista Social Club documentary film by Wim Wenders.
