JESUS “AGUAJE” RAMOS (born 1951) is a Cuban trombonist,composer,
arranger and musical director. He is best known as the original
orchestra leader, composer and trombonist of The Buena Vista
Social Club. He has also served long stints in world class
ensembles Estrellas de Areito and Afro-Cuban Allstars. His musical
journey and history is brought into focus throughout the
critically acclaimed 1999 documentary “Buena Vista Social Club”
Ramos performed on the World Circuit recordings of The Buena Vista
Social Club and Afro-Cuban Allstars and the solo albums of Ibrahim
Ferrer, Ruben Gonzales and Omara Portuondo. He was Gonzales’s
musical director and has been touring extensively since 1997 with
various Buena Vista Social Club projects. He was a prominent
member and musical director of the renowned Orquesta Buena Vista
Social Club, which brought the music of the original Buena Vista
Social Club back into international prominence during the
incredibly successful ‘Adios’ Tour from 2014-2016.
The Buena Vista Orchestra, under the direction of Ramos and
featuring key players from throughout the history of The Buena
Vista Social Club, continued the legacy of the legendary group in
2024 with an exciting new stage production and repertoire pulled
from the greatest hits (many of which Ramos composed) and
deep-dive cuts. The group embarked on a massive tour across the
USA starting in September 2024, spending 3 months on the road and
playing for thousands of fans new and old. Their adventure
culminated in the release of USA TOUR 2024 – 12 LIVE RECORDINGS on
SSK Records, the first time in decades the group’s music will be
available on CD and vinyl.
Ramos is joined on the 2025 international tour to Canada, The
United Kingdom, The EU, Brazil and beyond by an all star ensemble
including original BVSC members “Betun” Luis Mariano Valiente
Marin (Congas, Bongo) and Fabían Garcia (Bass).
To date, The Buena Vista Social Club and related projects have
global sales that stand at over fifty million, making it the
biggest-selling Cuban music project in history. As one critic put
it, Buena Vista has become “world music’s equivalent of The Dark
Side of the Moon.”
