Buena Vista Social Club

Wim Wenders (Paris, Texas, Wings of Desire) explores Cuba's musical past in this ... more

critically acclaimed documentary.Accompanying Ry
Cooder, producer of the 1997 Grammy award-winning
album Buena Vista Social Club, back to Cuba, Wim
Wendera encounters Ibrahim Ferrer, Company
Segundo, Ruben Gonzalez, Omara Portuondo and other
members of the band. Together, these veteran
musicians reminisce about the glory of their
musical past where, at the height of their success
in the 1930s and 40s, they were acclaimed as the
greatest musicians in Cuba.The film observes their
rehearsals with Ry Cooder in a studio, leading up
to their first performance in America, at New York
legendary Carnegie Hall.A remarkable record of an
immensely gifted group of musicians, Buena Vista
Social Club is a journey as emotional and
uplifting as the music itself.

Buena Vista Social Club

When the album Buena Vista Social Club was released it quickly became a worldwide ... more

phenomenon selling millions of copies
internationally and winning a Grammy. When Ry
Cooder travelled to Cuba again early in 1998 to
record a solo album with Ibrahim Ferrer - again
with all the musicians of the Buena Vista Social
Club - Wim Wenders accompanied him with a small
film crew, observing the musicians in the studio
and tracing their lives in Havana. The film
continued in the spring in Amsterdam where Buena
Vista Social Club gave two concerts and ended,
finally, in the summer in New York with a
triumphal concert in Carnegie Hall.The result is
an inspiring and uplifting story of a group of
incomparable musicians recreating a bygone era
with their fascinating reminisces and awesome
music.

Buena Vista Social Club - Buena Vista Social Club

Ry Cooder's name has helped bring attention to this session, but it's the veteran Cuban ... more

son musicians who make this album really special.
Reminiscent of Ellington in its scope and sense of
hushed romanticism, Buena Vista Social Club is
that rare meld of quietude and intensity; while
the players sound laid-back, they're putting forth
very alive music, a reminder that aging doesn't
mean taking to bed. Barbarito Torres's laoud solo
on "El Cuarto de Tula" is both more blinding and
more tasteful than any guitar showcase on any
recent rock album; a quote from "Stormy Weather"
and some very distinct parallels to Hawaiian
styles remind us of why it's called "world music."

Buena Vista Social Club Presents Ibrahim Ferrer - Ibrahim Ferrer

Buena Vista Social Club Presents Ibrahim Ferrer - Ibrahim Ferrer

It should never cease to amaze how spry and dramatically potent a force is the Buena Vista ... more

Social Club. The group--really a gaggle of aging
Cuban maestros brought together for stunning
all-star performances--keeps its footing in Cuban
dance music at the same time as it revels in the
lax tempo of layered hand percussion and
traditional rhythms. Ibrahim Ferrer stepped to the
international fore as the vocalist on the
eponymous BVSC CD in 1997 and here furthers his
already-obvious command of everything from sultry,
horn-swaying ballads to gritty son tunes like
"Mamí Me Gustá." Ferrer's tattered vocal
inflections shape the more rollicking tunes so
their texture is palpable, especially when belted
in antiphonal give-and-takes with the rest of the
huge band he totes along here. A 15-member-strong
string section steps forward on the bolero tracks,
which send off a smoldering passion that's
startling in light of the BVSC's heightened,
horn-charged charts. But the rich string passages
color songs in wide brush strokes, which is to say
that they heighten the passion to no end. Ferrer's
debut might come in his twilight years, but it's a
majorly luminous event. --Andrew Bartlett

Buena Vista Social Club Presents Omara Portuondo - Omara Portuondo

Buena Vista Social Club Presents Omara Portuondo - Omara Portuondo

Omara Portuondo was, undoubtedly, the star of the Buena Vista concerts in the late 90s, ... more

impressing with her controlled, cool voice,
suggesting a whole unsung subtext of emotion. If
you liked the original Buena Vista Social Club
album, then you'll certainly like this: 11 tracks
of Omara Portuondo singing the lead, occasionally
sharing the foreground to sing duets with Ibrahim
Ferrer (as on the classic "No Me Llores Mas"). The
rest of the Buena Vista Social Club are all
present and correct; Ruben Gonzalez, Compay
Segundo and Cachaito López are among the
musicians, alongside Manuel Mirabel on trumpet who
plays as if he's on fire. There's a string section
on board too, giving this a fabulous Old Habana
cabaret edge. But this is never camp: it treads
the is-it-sad-or-is-it-happy? line of much
successful Cuban music beautifully. Alongside
notable songs such as "Donde Estabas Tu", with its
beautiful trumpet and fiery percussion, there's
the classic "No Me Llores Mas", a melancholic
"Chan Chan "-like lament with absolutely splendid
horns which remind the listener how special the
Buena Vista Social Club is. --Neil Bennun

The Buena Vista Social Club

Advantages: Latest OS, some nice features, looks and feels a lot nicer
Disadvantages: Compatibilty, still some bugs, possible system shock, need a decent spec machine

When it comes to operating systems I tend to stick to what I know. I don't rush out and buy the latest OS for at least 2 years. It took me until 2004 to bother with XP. My main reason is I tend to get comfy with an operating system usually around the same time that a new one comes out. The only real exception to this was the upgrade from Windows 98 SE to 2000 and that was only because I was given an installation disk. My other reason is it gives the peeps who make the OS time to iron out the bugs (and believe me - even the most robust operating systems in the world have bugs). So it was kicking and screaming that I ended up with Vista. And I mean literally kicking and screaming... As I mentioned in my review about my Vaio, it's been tech update time at Ant Towers and one of the things that got updated was the processor on my ...

Review of Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium

Unforgettable

Advantages: Brought Cuban music, and the surviving stars of its heyday, to a wide audience in a way that's supremely touching and enjoyable
Disadvantages: None...even if you think you don't like this genre of music, by the end of this film you will!

York's Carnegie Hall three months later. Wenders captured it all, creating a movie that perfectly complements the Buena Vista Social Club record. The official live performances are intercut with footage (both musical and interview) of each member of the BVSC, as well as journeys around the dilapidated beauty of Cuba itself. The juxtaposition of stunning, weathered architecture and the surorunding poverty - a troubled history appears to have left the country in a time-warp - is visually arresting. There's a sad beauty to much of it, and this poignancy is heightened by the gorgeous sounds of these (mostly) ageing virtuosos - either in tandem, or solo - as they play in front of the camera from a variety of locations. It's this aspect of the film which best conveys the spirit of Buena Vista Social Club, and the effect is slowly captivating ...

Review of Buena Vista Social Club (DVD)

Brilliant film.

Advantages: Joyful and evocative documentary. Great music.
Disadvantages: None.

down long-forgotten musicians - many of them in their 90s - who used to play in the Buena Vista Social Club. The result is a poignant tale of them getting the first chance to perform in many years. They may have been forgiven, therefore, for being a little rusty. However, the music carries the listener away. I did not know the names of the musicians involved, but the Buena Vista apparently hosted some of Cuba's best bands. They had not forgotten their talents, even after a span of nearly 50 years. Most of the musicians had played since they were children, and they had lost none of their skill. Seeing all of them puffing away on fat Havana cigars, I wonder whether the anti-smoking lobby might consider banning this film - it seems to put across the message that smoking makes you live longer! The listener is left with a sense of what ...
