Free Music Notes for Buena Vista Social Club
Free Music Review: Modern classic
Hit: 5 Stars
I don't consider my house a home without this album. I seriously put it on repeat. It's one of my favorite to cook and clean to and just leave in the stereo when guests arrive. The DVD of the making of this CD provides a valuable context to what these musicians had been through and make the experience of the album that much more potent for me--I'd recommend the DVD, as well. Ry Cooder does a great job with both. Free Music Review: Ry Cooder's cuban delicacy!
Hit: 5 Stars
If you want to listen to pure fun music, please do buy this CD. It features a plethora of musicians , where the average age is 65, some of the finest in afro-Cuban jazz music, perfectly coordinated, produced and arranged by Ry Cooder to come out with a masterpiece. You have guajiras, boleros etc.. and some of the highlights according to me are Candela, Chan Chan, El Carretero, Dos gardenias sung by Ferrer.
Listen to the samples now and if that does not get your feet going, do get back to your indie music and stay there!
Once you have listened to this,i would urge you to seek out the albums of the individual artists, notably Compay Segundo and the amazing Ibrahim Ferrer (RIP).

Hit: 5 Stars
originally I would not have picked this up for myself, but a friend gave it to me, and this was in the beginning before they were well known. now I am giving it myself to others who somehow never learned about it. it is tremendous music and the DVD is totally worth watching, Ry Cooder did a terrific service to humanity. like his Timbucktu (sp?) album of afropop.Free Music Review: One of the best music from Cuba
Hit: 5 Stars
If you haven't listened to Buena Social Club, you have to. Classic songs, ranging from traditional slow Salsa to old Cuban songs played by magnificent musicians. The documental is good too, but you don't need to watch it if you close your eyes and listed to the CD.
