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.

At Carnegie Hall

Following the recordings, the musicians hit the road and extensive tours were undertaken by Rubén González, Ibrahim Ferrer, the Afro Cuban All Stars, Eliades Ochoa, Omara Portuondo and Compay Segundo. The original line up of the Buena Vista Social Club made three triumphant concert appearances; two at Amsterdam's Carré Theatre and the final legendary show at New York's Carnegie Hall. The latter was filmed by Wim Wenders as the climax of his successful documentary also named “Buena Vista Social Club”, and the concert recording was released ten years later as “Buena Vista Social Club® at Carnegie Hall”. Over the years World Circuit has continued to travel to Havana recording acclaimed albums by Ibrahim Ferrer, Omara Portuondo, Rubén González, Cachaíto López, Guajiro Mirabal and Angá Díaz, who had been an integral part of the Afro Cuban All Stars.
