Two standout radio programs on Onda Cero and Univisión Radio celebrate the cultural legacy of the Cuban musical that’s captivating Broadway.
At iVoice Communications, we proudly highlight the cultural resonance of Buena Vista Social Club, a production that continues to move audiences, not only on the stage of the Schoenfeld Theatre on Broadway, but also through Spanish-language radio across continents. Recently, two radio programs—Gente Viajera from Spain’s Onda Cero and La X 96.3 from Univisión Radio in New York—offered emotional, in-depth coverage of this musical phenomenon.
Gente Viajera – Onda Cero (Spain)
In a thoughtful and intimate conversation, actor Julio Monge, who plays Compay Segundo in the Broadway musical, shares how he embraced this iconic role and the emotional impact it has had on his artistic journey.
“I decided not to imitate him, but to capture his wisdom, sense of humor, and attitude toward life,” said Monge about portraying Compay Segundo.
“This extraordinary music that the Cuban people have given to planet Earth” – Monge reflects on the universal power of Cuban son that moves audiences night after night.
We invite you to listen to the full interview on Gente Viajera from Onda Cero.
La X 96.3 – Univisión Radio (New York)
In a passionate account, the hosts of La X recount their experience attending the musical as an emotional journey through two eras: 1956 Havana and 1996 Cuba. The program becomes a heartfelt tribute to art, nostalgia, and living music.
“A celebration of artistic resistance, the flavor of son cubano, and the eternity of Cuban music” – A performance that resonates deeply with Latin identity.
“When you hear that Chan Chan live… it touches your soul” – A Cuban orchestra that faithfully revives the spirit and sound of the original project with authenticity and power.
We invite you to experience the full segment from La X 96.3 on Univisión Radio.
At iVoice, we believe in the power of culture to travel, to inspire, and to connect. Buena Vista Social Club is more than a musical—it’s a living celebration of history, art, and Latin American identity.
