The Buena Vista Social Club Returns after 25 Years with Unpublished Songs

by María Salomé CampanioniSeptember 22, 2021

The re-release will be available for the following formats: double compact disk, two long-playing vinyl disks, deluxe, and also to be downloaded on digital platforms like YouTube, Spotify, Amazon, Apple, and Deezer.

According to what the singer Omara Portuondo (known as the Diva of the Buena Vista Social Club) shared on social media, the user can order the material on https://worldcicuit.Ink.to

She (who is also known as the Bride of Feeling) was part of this band along with Ochoa, Segundo, Ibrahim, Ferrer, Pío Leyva, Rubén González, and other Cuban talented musicians who changed the course of their careers towards international fame.

The original CD, which is named after this orchestra, was recorded at the Areito Studios, in Havana, and became an opportunity to gather their voices and immortalize their songs. Some of these songs are: Chan Chan, El Cuarto de Tula, Dos Gardenias, Veinte Años, and Lágrimas Negras.

With a project devised by Nick Gold and Ry Cooder, the so-called Golden Age of Cuban music was felt in the world because of the defenders of bolero, son, guajira, salsa, and Traditional Cuban music.

This band’s successful concert in Amsterdam, 1998, inspired the work of the German film director Win Wenders, who was nominated to the Oscar Awards and who also received good reviews from the critics.

Though many of its founding members are no longer with us, some of its musicians are still active and collaborate with it, remembering emblematic songs by the legendary musical gang.
