The album became a surprise international best-seller and the most successful album in the history of Cuban music.
Buena Vista Social Club’™ is both the name given to this extraordinary pool of musicians and the album, recorded in just six days in Havana’s 1950s vintage EGREM studios. It was clear from the atmosphere of the recording sessions that something very special was taking place. Shot mainly in Cuba, the film also features concert footage from the group’s only performances in the Carré Theatre, Amsterdam and Carnegie Hall, New York. The film has delighted audiences around the world and has contributed to the extraordinary success of this project, and the re-emergence of some of Cuba’s finest musicians. The Buena Vista Social Club™ phenomenon has transformed the careers of Rubén González, Ibrahim Ferrer and Omara Portuondo who have continued to record with World Circuit.
