[YOUNG IBRAHIM] 20s. Male-presenting. Actor/Singer/Dancer. Black. A dark-skinned young singer who has relocated from a difficult life in the country to the big city. He relies on busking to make his living and faces prejudicial hurdles on the journey to musical success.

Storyline: Step into the heart of Cuba, beyond the glitz of the Tropicana, to a place where blazing trumpets and sizzling guitars set the dance floor on fire. Here, the sound of Havana is born—and one woman’s remarkable journey begins.

Inspired by true events, the new Broadway musical BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB™ brings the GRAMMY® Award-winning album to thrilling life—and tells the story of the legends who lived it. A world-class Afro-Cuban band is joined by a sensational cast in this unforgettable tale of survival, second chances, and the extraordinary power of music.
