About Buena Vista Social Club

Buena Vista Social Club is a Cuban musical ensemble that sparked a global revival of traditional son music in the late 1990s. The project was conceived in 1996 by British producer Nick Gold and American guitarist Ry Cooder after planned sessions with Malian musicians fell through due to visa issues. Pivoting their focus, they brought together legendary Cuban artists whose careers had faded, including vocalist Ibrahim Ferrer, guitarists Compay Segundo and Eliades Ochoa, and pianist Rubén González. Recorded at Havana’s Egrem Studios, their self-titled debut album (1997) became an international sensation, winning a Grammy Award and becoming Ry Cooder’s best-selling release.

The collective’s vibrant sound and stories were further immortalized in Wim Wenders’ 1999 documentary, "Buena Vista Social Club," which captured their studio work and dynamic live performances in Amsterdam and New York City. The film earned an Academy Award nomination, amplifying the group’s worldwide influence.

Following the success of their debut, the members pursued solo projects while touring globally as Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club. Key releases include the live album "At Carnegie Hall" (2008) and the compilation "Lost and Found" (2015), featuring previously unreleased material. In celebration of their enduring legacy, a 25th anniversary expanded edition was released in 2021, alongside the vinyl EP "Ahora Me Da Pena" (2022). Buena Vista Social Club remains a timeless ambassador of Cuban musical heritage and a cornerstone of Latin music history.
