Buena Vista Social Club – Buena Vista Social Club

Buena Vista Social Club – Buena Vista Social Club (1997)

Winner of the Grammy Award for Best Tropical Latin Album and ranked #260 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums.

A beautiful, accidental masterpiece that brought the golden age of Cuban son back to the global stage. Produced by Ry Cooder, this record represents the reunion of legendary Havana musicians who had been largely forgotten by the world. It sounds astonishingly natural and warm, capturing the wooden room sound of the vintage EGREM studios. The interplay between the piano, laud, and percussion is fluid and organic, supporting the soulful, weathered vocals of Ibrahim Ferrer and Omara Portuondo. On vinyl, the album transports you directly to a humid Havana sunset; the analog format preserves the air and space around the acoustic instruments in a way that digital simply cannot. It is a celebration of life, resilience, and musical heritage that is essential for any collection.
