Buena Vista Social Club

[Yazman]

It's pretty good. I just watched it for the first time last night, has anybody seen it? Any thoughts and/or comments?

Essential viewing, shows Cuba in all it's natural unglossy beauty and is never tarnished by political pretensions either way.. The social club has sadly lost Ruben Gonzalez and Compay Segundo this year, emphasizing what an important document this was but with great new music from Ibrahim Ferrer and Omara Portuondo the legacy continues...

The Son tradition was given new audiences around the world by this movie - who had been deprived these collossal musicians by the machinations of the U.S, the album has sold more than any other in world music by far and the various side projects have brought us great new innovations and classic standards previously unheard outside Cuba..

I think that the song is called "Hasta Siempre Commandante Che Guevara" or something like that, sorry if I'm wrong. I allways get gooseflesh when I'm listening that song.
