During the 520th anniversary dinner, Jim Belushi, Roxy Music’s Phil Manzanera (guitar) and Hollywood director James Orr (drums and director of our award-winning documentary Cigars: the Heart and Soul of Cuba) took the stage impromptu and delivered an energetic blues performance of “Let Me Love You Baby” along with fellow Cuban musicians.
In jam session, the always-entertaining actor played Harmonica, and Phil Manzanera gave an electrifying guitar solo that brought the crowds to their feet. The performance ended with the actor enthusiastically declaring, “the blues is alive in Cuba”.
