After watching a programme on television about the Buena Vista Social Club, I was inspired to buy this CD. And, I was not disappointed! I don't usually buy music from this genre but I was soon dancing around the room 'shaking my booty'! - not a pretty sight!! The front CD cover shows ... Read review

Nigel Williamson.BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB won the
1998 Grammy Award for Best Tropical Latin
Performance.That Ry Cooder, you've got to keep an
eye on him every minute, or he jumps into another
cross-cultural collaboration. In the wake of his
landmark recordings TALKING TIMBUKTU with Ali
Farka Toure and A MEETING BY THE RIVER with V.M.
Bhatt comes BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB, essentially a
supergroup of traditional Cuban musicians with the
addition of international agitator Cooder.
Somehow, Cooder always finds just the right space
to slide his sinuous slide guitar into, so that it
works in almost any context. Here, amidst the
multi-layered percussion, piano and Cuban guitar
rhythms, Cooder's slide simultaneously finds a
home and eggs the ensemble on. The natural beauty
of the Cuban tonal and rhythmic palette is the
real star of BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB, evoking both
a sense of mystery and a feeling of intense
emotional satisfaction.[Reviews]Spin (9/99, p.156)

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 [1999] Buena Vista Social Club [1999]
In 1996, composer, producer, and guitar legend Ry Cooder entered Egrem Studios in Havana ... more
with the forgotten greats of Cuban music, many of
them in their 60s and 70s, some of them long since
retired. The resulting album, Buena Vista Social
Club, became a Grammy-winning international
bestseller. When Cooder returned to Havana in 1998
to record a solo album by 72-year-old vocalist
Ibrahim Ferrer, filmmaker Wim Wenders was on hand
to document the occasion. Wenders splits the film
between portraits of the performers, who tell
their stories directly to the camera as they
wander the streets and neighbourhoods of Havana,
and a celebration of the music heard in
performance scenes in the studio, in their first
concert in Amsterdam, and in their second and
final concert at Carnegie Hall. The songs are too
often cut short in this fashion, but Buena Vista
Social Club is not a concert film. Wenders weaves
the artist biographies with a glimpse of modern
Cuba remembering its past, capturing a lost
culture in music that is suddenly, unexpectedly
revived for audiences in Havana and around the
world. Wenders makes his presence practically
invisible, as if his directorial flourishes or
off-screen narration might deflect attention from
the artists, who do a fine job of telling their
own stories through interviews and music. It's a
loving portrait of a master class in Cuban music,
with a vital cast of ageing performers whose
energy and passion belie their years. --Sean
Axmaker

As some will know Wim Wenders' Buena Vista Social Club is one of the sleeper movie ... more
phenomenons of the 1990s. A record of one
astounding revival, it has in turn perpetuated
that revival, providing a whole new lease of
life--and a lucrative international platform--for
a music that was lost to many people. Wenders
gives credit where it's due--to world music guru
Ry Cooder who travelled to Cuba in 1996 to seek
out the soneros, performers hugely popular in the
1930s, 40s and 50s; made an album with them, the
Buena Vista Social Club (Buena Vista being an area
of Havana); and launched them on stage in
Amsterdam and New York. But he also asked Wenders
if he wanted to come along for the ride, and in
March and April 1998, Wenders, on the spur of the
moment with only a minimal crew ("concepts are for
sissies"), travelled to Cuba and Amsterdam, and
followed the newly popular stars: among them
Ibrahim Ferrer, Omara Portuondo and Ruben
Gonzalez. The result was a remarkable
international film sensation.  They call this "the
book of the film", and that's what it is. Of the
141 photographs, Wim Wenders provides the colour
images and Donata Wenders some atmospheric
black-and-white shots. The background to the whole
enterprise is fleshed out with illuminating
comments from Wenders and the performers (oddly
laid out on the page as verse) an interview with
Ry Cooder, song lyrics in Spanish and English, and
mini-biographies of all involved. Fans of the film
will no doubt want this to add to their Buena
Vista collection--but first-time patrons of the
Social Club would be well advised to invest in the
one element of the film this beautiful-looking
book can't provide: the CDs that contain the
insistent music that is, after all, its raison
d'etre--music that is, as soneros addict Wenders
writes, "infectious and lively as it is wise and
soothing".--Alan Stewart

Review of Buena Vista Social Club Presents Ibrahim Ferrer - Buena Vista Social Club by Flo57

Advantages: Gets Everything Moving!
Disadvantages: None

...programme on television about the Buena Vista Social Club, I was inspired to buy this CD. And, I was not disappointed! I don't usually buy music from this genre but I was soon dancing around the room 'shaking my booty'! - not a pretty sight!! The front CD cover shows Ibrahim, wearing a leather cap, looking as though he's had a great deal of life's experiences and enjoyed them along the way! The plastic CD cover is also covered by a cardboard one. ...
...until he appeared with the Buena Vista Social Club, that he gained a more international recognition. The album was mixed in Havana by the same group used by The Social Club, and so you get the same feel for the music - they know what they are doing! Other artists and musicians have been invited to perform on this recording and so you get a good mix of sounds and a wide range of talented people - mainly from Cuba.
