Buena Vista Social Club

Description

25th Anniversary 180g Vinyl 2LP Reissue Newly Remastered by Bernie Grundman with Previously Unheard Tracks from the Original 1996 Recording Sessions Plus Unseen Photos and New Liner Notes!

Buena Vista Social Clubis both the name given to this extraordinary group of musicians and the album, recorded in just seven days in 1996 in Havana’s 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 thatBuena Vista Social Clubwould become a worldwide phenomenon 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 (includingIbrahim Ferrer, Rubn GonzlezandOmara Portuondo) to superstar status, inspired an award-winning film by Wim Wenders, and has contributed to popularizing Cuba’s rich musical heritage. Produced byRy Cooderfor 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.
