Havana, Dec 20 (Prensa Latina) Music and dance are indivisible parts of Cuban tourism when today a project of old interpreters facilitates the pleasure of many foreign visitors, especially Europeans, a group baptized as Legendarios del guajirito.

This unusual name points fundamentally to the best of the pieces of the Cuban tradition and completes the style of the well-known Buena Vista Social Club, where songs, rumba, bolero and other genres are complemented by the exchange with the audience.

The Legendarios consist of great musicians and singers who have 14 nominations and eight Grammy Awards, as members of the Buena Vista Social Club, Afro-Cuban All Stars and the Aragón Orchestra (www.legendariosdelguajirito.com).
