The group’s only studio album, produced by Ry Cooder in 1997, achieved instant success. Featuring a specially assembled group of veteran Cuban musicians and further propelled by Wim Wenders’ acclaimed film and later by a series of international tours and albums by many of the featured musicians, Buena Vista Social Club became a phenomenon. Now, the 13-piece Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club, featuring a number of Buena Vista Social Club alumni, makes its return to the world’s stages.
