Buena Vista Social Club - Buena Vista Social Club (30th Anniversary) [Pearl Sunrise Vinyl]

Celebrate 30 years of the 'Buena Vista Social Club' with this remastered expanded pearl white vinyl edition featuring 8 more songs, Highlights include "Chan Chan", "Dos Gardenias' and "El Cuarto de Tula".

Masterminded by the trio of Cuban bandleader Juan de Marcos González, American producer and guitarist Ry Cooder, and British producer and label owner Nick Gold, Buena Vista Social Club is both the name given to this extraordinary group of musicians and the album they 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 that Buena Vista Social Club would become a worldwide phenomenon – awarded a Grammy in 1997 and, at over 8 million copies, outselling any other record in the same genre.

The acclaim of the original album elevated the artists (including Ibrahim Ferrer, Rubén González, Eliades Ochoa, Compay Segundo and Omara Portuondo) to superstar status, inspired an award-winning film by Wim Wenders, a Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, and contributed to popularising Cuba’s rich musical heritage. The timeless quality of the music and the sheer verve of the veteran performers have ensured that this album will go down as one of the landmark recordings of the 20th century.
