Press Quotes
“Reunited for a 1998 concert at Carnegie Hall, these elegant, flashingeyed men (and one woman) seem to burn with happiness … the lush, turbulent flow of drum and guitar, the seductively syncopated melody… the performance makes you want to know who the band members are: where their music comes from, and how it played out across a tempestuous century of Cuban life.” — Entertainment Weekly

“Assembled in 1997 by guitarist Ry Cooder for Havana recording sessions, the Buena Vista Social Club is a stylish, distressed signifier for the nostalgic glories of pre-revolutionary Cuban culture.” — Village Voice

“Legendary performers and wonderful music.” — Chicago Sun-Times
