SEEKING:

[OMARA] OFFER OUT. 50+. Female-presenting. Strong vocalist. Mixed/Afro-Cuban. A graceful diva with a sharp wit. Deeply wounded. Hides it well.

[IBRAHIM] OFFER OUT. 50+. Male-presenting. Strong vocalist. Black. A man with a sweet voice, but a deeply spiritual presence.

[COMPAY] OFFER OUT. 50+. Male-presenting. Strong vocalist. Mixed/Afro-Cuban. A troubadour. A flirtatious charmer, but deep down, he's a soft, vulnerable artist. Guitar skills are helpful, but not required.

[RUBEN] OFFER OUT. 50+. Male-presenting. Non-Speaking role. Mixed or Black/Afro-Cuban. A man lost in his own mind. Some piano helpful but not required.

[YOUNG OMARA] 20s. Female-presenting. Strong vocalist. Mixed/Afro-Cuban. A dreamer. A bohemian free spirit who - over the course of our story - faces difficult decisions.

[YOUNG HAYDÉE] 20s. Female-presenting. Strong vocalist. Mixed/Afro-Cuban. A realist. Not one for romanticism, daydreaming, or nostalgia.

[YOUNG IBRAHIM] 20s. Male-presenting. Strong vocalist. Black. New to the big city, but you wouldn't call him "bright-eyed" - because he's not had an easy life.

[YOUNG COMPAY] 20s. Male-presenting. Strong vocalist. Mixed/Afro-Cuban. A charmer. Opinionated about music. Protective of the club because it's the only place he's ever felt at home. Guitar skills are helpful, but not required.

[YOUNG RUBEN] OFFER OUT. 20s. Male-presenting. Musician (Piano). Mixed/Afro-Cuban. A fast-talking piano player with dreams of playing world stages.

[JUAN] 20s/30s. Male-presenting. Non-singer. Black or Mixed/Afro-Cuban. Driven and entrepreneurial. Smart and pragmatic.

[ELIADES] OFFER OUT. 20s-40s. Male-presenting. Musician (Guitar). A next-generation troubadour with vintage flair. A good friend to Juan. A bit "country" and he knows it.
