Today, Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club ® continues this tradition, and includes new names, such as the incredible singer Carlos Calunga besides veterans like trumpeter Guajiro Mirabal and virtuoso lute Barbarito Torres. Along with Aguaje Ramos and Manuel Galban, they collaborated on many tours and recording under the name "Buena Vista Social Club Presents" over the past 12 years.
