The Buena Vista Social Club was a members club in Havana, Cuba that held dances and musical activities, becoming a popular location for musicians to meet and play during the 1940s. In the 1990s, nearly 50 years after the club was closed, it inspired a recording made by Cuban musician Juan de Marcos González and American guitarist Ry Cooder with traditional Cuban musicians, some of whom were veterans who had performed at the club during the height of its popularity.

A truly amazing album, full of quality music which is impossible to dislike. There are obviously tracks which stand out as something special among the many on this album, "Chan Chan" and "El Carretero" especially. The album is tinged with the magic touches of many previously forgotten Cuban musicians, from the bubbly Ibrahim Ferrer, alongside Compay Segundo and Eliades Ochoa , to, of course, the genius that is Ruben Gonzalez. Their personalities shine through in this pure music, and one can sense that they enjoyed making this record as much as fans love their music. Viva el son de cuba!
