Buena Vista Social Club is a legendary collective of Cuban musicians whose self-titled 1997 album became a global sensation, selling over 12 million copies worldwide and earning a GRAMMY® Award for Best Tropical Latin Performance. Produced by Ry Cooder, it featured iconic performers like Ibrahim Ferrer, Compay Segundo, Omara Portuondo, and Rubén González, as it revived the classic sounds of Cuban son, bolero and danzón, and became a cultural phenomenon.

Recorded in just seven days at the vintage EGREM Studios, the Buena Vista Social Club. Buena Vista Social Club’s legacy was further cemented by Wim Wenders’ 1999 documentary, inspiring a new generation of fans and reaffirming the album’s place as a sonic landmark. From the infectious Afro-Cuban groove of “Chan Chan” to the tender, soulful melodies of “Dos Gardenias,” each track radiates the passion, joy, and authenticity of Cuban musical traditions.

Now, Analogue Productions invites you to rediscover the magic of Buena Vista Social Club with unparalleled fidelity.
