The beautiful, powerful sound of the Buena Vista Social Club - accomplished Cuban music emerging from the classic Havana sounds that gave the world rumba, mambo, and salsa. When guitar genius Ry Cooder brought that music to the attention of the world in the 1996 album, and then in a film, the careers of some of the greatest artists in the world were revived. This 2006 concert in Germany gives us a line-up of artists who played on the album - including Manuel "Guajiro" Mirabal and Orlando "Cachaito" Lopez - along with other fine musicians in the same idiom, playing the Havana son and related forms that they have made their own and brought to international acclaim. A great evening of swinging Latin sounds.
