Thursday 5 March 2026
Melbourne Recital Centre

Grammy-nominated pianist, composer, and Cuban music trailblazer, Roberto Fonseca, will return to Australia in March 2026 for the first time in over a decade, with a national tour showcasing his critically acclaimed album, La Gran Diversión, along with songs from across his storied career.

Released in 2023, La Gran Diversión is a tribute to the golden era of Cuban music, shaped by the man who arguably personified the revival of the Cuban sound. Inspired by the legendary 1930s Parisian cabaret Cabane Cubaine, the album fuses infectious rhythms, dazzling horn sections, and spellbinding piano melodies – an invitation to dance and celebrate the joyful spirit of Cuba.

A major force in contemporary Cuban music for over 20 years, Fonseca rose to global prominence through performing with the Buena Vista Social Club and releasing multiple acclaimed solo albums, including Zamazu (2007), ABUC (2016), and the Grammy-nominated YO (2012). His genre-defying sound blends Afro-Cuban roots with jazz, funk, and global influences, featuring collaborations with icons like Omara Portuondo, Gilles Peterson, Ibrahim Ferrer, Baba Sissoko and Fatoumata Diawara, among others.

“Together we will laugh, cry, enjoy the mystery and magic of rhythms and melodies stemming from my roots.” – Roberto Fonseca
