About this product

Product Information

No one can recall exactly where the Buena Vista Social Club once stood in pre- revolutionary Havana but Wim Wenders's documentary of a dozen legendary musicians resurrects the magnificent music of the era. Guitarist Ry Cooder assembled the aging singers and musicians for a series of recording sessions. The resulting 1997 album won a Grammy. The music performances are intercut with shots of the performers reminiscing in decaying Havana bars.

    enjoyed this DVD.

    I had to stick with it in the beginning due to subtitles. After getting engaged with musicians I didn't mind the subtitles. Be sure to read the insert so you have an idea what is going on. About halfway through you get the inside information spoken in english. It is a good story and the music is fantastic!

  • Beautiful film

    My parents are from Cuba, so seeing the country, hearing the musicians talk about their lives and listening to the music was just wonderful. The quality of this used CD was perfect. No issues at all; great price!

  • The social club was just what it sounds like: a nightclub where Cuban performers produced and shared their music during the early 50s

    The movie is Academy award-winning and gives insight into the great tradition of afro-cuban music and a beautiful country that we savagely boycotted for 50 years

  • Essential

    Great look into the Ry Cooder produced album project that drew attention to the great forgotten Cuban performers.
