Buena Vista Social ClubAt Carnegie Hall (180g Double LP)Nonesuch Recorded on July 1, 1998, at Carnegie Hall, New York."The concert was more than a musical occasion. Musicians from Cuba in their 70s, 80s and 90s, some emerging from retirement, were making their United States debuts at no less than Carnegie Hall. With the bittersweet delicacy of a classic bolero, the Buena Vista Social Club simultaneously celebrated the vitality and virtuosity of its musicians and mourned the era they embody." —New York TimesBuena Vista Social Club, the Grammy Award–winning 1997 World Circuit / Nonesuch Records album produced by Ry Cooder, is the biggest-selling world music album ever, with more than eight million records sold to date. The Cuban musicians from the album played a sold-out, one-night-only concert at New Yorks Carnegie Hall on July 1, 1998. That show became the climax of the acclaimed 1999 Wim Wenders documentary about the musicians, also called Buena Vista Social Club.Ten years later, World Circuit / Nonesuch Records release that evenings performance as Buena Vista Social Club at Carnegie Hall—meticulously mixed and mastered by Cooder and World Circuit label head Nick Gold (who executive produced the 1997 album). It features performances by the original Buena Vista Social Club musicians including Ibrahim Ferrer, Compay Segundo, Rubén González, Eliades Ochoa, Omara Portuondo, Cachaíto López, and Guajiro Mirabal. Though all of these musicians subsequently went on to resurrect great solo careers, the intervening years have brought the loss of Ferrer, Segundo, and González. Buena Vista Social Club at Carnegie Hall is only the second release for the original members.A popular song from the original Buena Vista Social Club album, Chan Chan, opened the Carnegie Hall show and is also available in the Nonesuch Store as a single. As the Los Angeles Times reported in its 1998 Carnegie Hall review, When the musicians finally walked on stage, the crowd stood and cheered, then erupted at the opening strains of Chan Chan, much as a rock audience does on hearing a bands biggest hit.
