Members of Los abuelos del son (grandfather of son music) project sponsored by the Adolfo Guzman music company, renown musicians starring piano player Gonzalo Rubalcaba (piano), Papi Oviedo and Reynaldo Creagh attracted 1,700 fans in Sydney.

The show is a flashback to Cuba in the 1940s and 1950s, recreated through music, storytelling and dance. To set the scene each night, a Cuban bar is recreated on stage.

Rum is served, the audience are encouraged to get up and dance, and the occasional cigar is enjoyed - when local smoking laws permit.

Before begining a tour of other Australian cities, the Cuban musicians laid a wreath at the bust of Jose Marti at the Sydney Ibero-American Plaza.
