Artist Overview
Cuba's most well-loved masters of the traditional "son" style gathered to make the one-of-a-kind BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB album in 1996. A tribute to these aging but masterful veterans of the Cuban musical form, it was produced and organized by Ry Cooder. Included are Ruben Gonzales, Ibrahim Ferrer, Compay Segundo, and many other virtuosos. Unexpectedly, the success of the album and accompanying documentary made the elderly participants international stars, finally earning them some well-deserved renown in their twilight years.
