Description

lsquoBuena Vista Social Clubrsquo is both the name given to this extraordinary group of musicians and the album, recorded in just seven days in 1996 in Havanarsquos 1950s vintage EGREM studios. It was clear from the atmosphere of the recording sessions that something very special was taking place. However, no one could have predicted that Buena Vista Social Club would become a worldwide phenomenon ndash awarded a Grammy in 1997 and, at 8 million copies, outselling any other record in the same genre.The acclaim of the original album has elevated the artists including Ibrahim Ferrer, Rubeacuten Gonzaacutelez amp Omara Portuondo to superstar status, inspired an awardwinning film by Wim Wenders, and has contributed to popularising Cubarsquos rich musical heritage. Produced by Ry Cooder for World Circuit, the timeless quality of the music and the sheer verve of the veteran performers have ensured that this will go down as one of the landmark recordings of the 20th century.To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the albums recording, producer Ry Cooder and World Circuits Nick Gold have gone back to the original tapes and into the archive to produce this Deluxe Remaster package, featuring previously unheard tracks from the original 1996 recording sessions, previously unseen photos, and new liner notes.
