BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB
The sessions in Havana in March 1996 involving Ry Cooder and a galaxy of the most exciting names in Cuban music will surely go down as legendary. In an extraordinary two weeks, not one but three albums of stunning quality were recorded, showcasing the cream of Cuban musicianship, from the 13 year old phenomenon Julien Oviedo on timbales to the 89 year old guitarist and singer Compay Segundo.
Overseeing this creative explosion was World Circuit producer Nick Gold, for whom the experience was a dream come true, the culmination of a love affair which had had begun many years earlier when he first heard the intoxicating rhythms of son and mambo.
