THANK YOU, TOULOUSE: BUENA VISTA ALL STARS PERFORM TO A SOLD-OUT CROWD OF MORE THAN 20,000 AT RIO LOCO FESTIVAL 2026

There are moments in music that stay with you forever.

On June 13, 2026, we had the immense honor of performing at the legendary Rio Loco Festival in Toulouse, France, in front of a sold-out audience of more than 20,000 people. It was one of the most emotional and unforgettable nights of our 2026 World Tour.

For many of us, returning to Rio Loco felt like coming home. Over the years, this extraordinary festival has always welcomed us with open arms, celebrating not only music, but also culture, community, and the power of human connection.

As we stepped onto the stage and looked out at thousands of faces singing, dancing, and sharing this experience with us, we were reminded once again why we continue to make music after all these years. Cuban music belongs to everyone who feels it.

Throughout the evening, we had the privilege of sharing songs that have accompanied us throughout our lives, including Chan Chan, Lágrimas Negras, Bésame Mucho, Guantanamera, and selections from our latest album, Una Noche en La Habana. Every note, every applause, and every smile from the audience became part of a memory we will cherish forever.

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the entire Rio Loco Festival team, the city of Toulouse, our fellow artists, and above all, the more than 20,000 people who joined us for this unforgettable celebration of Cuban music.

Thank you for singing with us.
Thank you for dancing with us.
Thank you for keeping this music alive.

Merci, Toulouse. We will never forget this night.

With love and gratitude,

BUENA VISTA ALL STARS
