Buena Vista Social Club - Buena Vista Social Club (Pearl Double LP, 30th Anniversary)

Pearl 2LP, 30th Anniversary

Masterminded by Juan de Marcos González, Ry Cooder and Nick Gold, Buena Vista Social Club is both the name given to the group and the album they recorded in 1996 at Havana's EGREM Studios. It won a Grammy and has sold more than eight million copies.

The record elevated Ibrahim Ferrer, Rubén González, Eliades Ochoa, Compay Segundo and Omara Portuondo to superstar status, inspired an award-winning film by Wim Wenders and a Tony Award-winning musical, and contributed to popularizing Cuba's musical heritage. It was produced by Ry Cooder and executive produced by Nick Gold for World Circuit.

This 30th anniversary edition is a 2LP set pressed on pearl vinyl, carrying the remastered audio and the bonus tracks first released for the 25th anniversary in 2021.
