[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.
