Who could have imagined that an album of old Cuban artists would be a sensational international success? Producers Ry Cooder and Nick Gold certainly not. In 1996 they invited veterans of traditional Cuban son to record an album together as a tribute to them under the name Buena Vista Social Club. Recorded in seven days, the studio album became the best-selling world music album ever. This was followed
… by world tours and solo albums by artists such as Ibrahim Ferrer, Compay Segundo, Omara Portuondo, Eliades Ochoa and Rubén González. At the request of many enthusiasts, the producers Cooder and Gold searched the archives for previously unreleased recordings of the old guard BVSC members.
